It is a viral infection of respiratory tract. It takes 7 to 10 days and resolves at its own if immune system is working good enough to eradicate the infection.

Keep an eye that baby wets the diapers properly. feeding properly is also important.

Keep the room properly humidified to help soothe the airway. Vicks humidified air is good for baby's dry cough. Nothing else needed.

If baby gets fever give tylenol infantile.

Take to the ER if you feel baby is crying more, isn't feeding much, not wetting diapers properly.
