Hi,

A 3 months old neonate may develop cough due to some allergy, mild viral illness etc. Generally, we will not use drugs to suppress cough in this age group. You can use simple saline nose drops only. avoid any allergic substance around the baby, like talcum powder, smoke, dust etc. If there is no fever then no need to worry. We can wait and watch. Cough is a protective reflex so no need to panic.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rajmohan, Pediatrician
