Coughing is actually an important bodily function. It helps keeping the respiratory Tract free of mucus. However when it interferes with sleep and eating and resting It can be a problem. Assuming the baby is under 4 years old, you would not use Some OTC products like robitussin. The best oral treatment is actually honey Given as needed about 1/2-1 teaspoon. This helps thin the mucus that is inducing The cough. Also make sure the baby is not lying flat and in addition you can use A cool mist humidifier and add perhaps some saline mist to keep the nose clear.
