My baby is 9 months old. She had developed recurrent catarrh for 2 weeks now... Yesterday night cough began with catarrh(purulent catarrh) what can I
Tongue tie doesn't cause dumbness or affect speech except exceptionally thick one which doesn't allow the baby's tongue to lift which may rarely affect speech, in such cases qualified paediatric surgeons can do a simple surgery to free it. In fact this is done around age 1 to 2 years.
Keep your baby warm.
Adequate hygiene around baby is expedient.
If nostrils are congested, u can buy saline drops to help relieve congestion or do steam inhalation (both of you will have to do it)
If no improvement, kindly consult with a paediatrician for further assistance.

Please, treat as urgent.
