Yourv3 months old baby should be on Exclusive breastfeeding. Why do you want to give her Vitamin C? was it prescribed by a Doctor? We do not prescribe medication jere and Vit C being an over the counter medicine, should state clearly what the dose should be per age and body weight. Please do well to review the instructions on the medicine very well.
Yes you can give it
There's no effect of overdose of Vitamin C. Just give plenty water, it will be passed out in urine.
No need for medication. Most times cattarh is viral and would normally run its course. If it persists, you may need to take the child to the hospital, to see a Paediatrician who would investigate the cause.

Treatment is advisable if seizures are recurrent and troublesome. The following are the major options available:
1. Drugs - Control of the seizures with drugs can be good in most cases without causing harmful side-effects. Whenever possible one drug should be used in as few doses each day as necessary to ensure adequate blood levels by day and by night. Sometimes more than one drug has to be used.
Generally, the more modern treatments produce fewer problems than the older drugs. If drugs are given only sporadically, or different from the way prescribed, seizure control will be poor. Drugs should never be stopped suddenly. If you are concerned about any aspect of treatment, be sure to talk to your doctor.
2. Psychological intervention - Some children's seizures are made worse by such things as stress, emotional upset and boredom. In these cases it is important to identify the problem and deal with it, which may require help from a counsellor in addition to the medication being continued.
3. Surgery -Only a small number of children with epilepsy will be suitable for surgery but improved investigations and new surgical techniques mean that surgery can now be very successful for some children. Unfortunately not all epilepsies have a good prognosis and some children will have seizures for many years, even for all their lives. In general the prognosis for good seizure control is poor where epilepsy is associated with intellectual disability, especially if severe. Rarely seizures cannot be controlled because of progressive underlying brain disease.

Do not need to give your newborn any routine drugs. Just breastfeed exclusively. All the best.

Please do not self-medication. Most cold and catarrh are viral infections that will be left to run its course."For catarrh, Keep your baby warm. Adequate hygiene around a 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.
Since you have seen a paediatrician as regards the cough.Please take all medications prescribed by your baby's paediatrician because he or she physically examined your baby before prescribing those medications.
Not sure if Zobo contains anything in it that can affect the baby. Try and see. If you observed anything unusual stop immediately. Better to take more of water.
