Coughs and colds often do not need any treatment. Typically, symptoms are worse in the first 2-3 days and then ease over the next few days as the immune system clears the virus. If your baby's cough is more than 3 days. You may consider seeing a doctor

Ideally, you should keep breastfeeding your baby. Coughs and colds are usually caused by germs. They normally clear away on their own, and antibiotic medicines are usually of no use. Paracetamol may ease some of the symptoms. Make sure the child is getting enough breastmilk too which can help give your baby some form of immunity.
