Hi
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
Chocolates can cause repeated throat infections and cough.
It's better to restrict them.
If tour baby is active without fever , no need to give antibiotics.
Should settle soon if you stop chocolates.
If not maybe the cough is allergic and this needs confirmation by physical examination.

Dr Arun
