Hello,

Thanks for the query.

Please provide the following information:
- Whether the baby was exposed to cold weather or air condition?
- Does the cough come throughout the day or only during night?

Children get cold easily; so they need to be protected.
You may stop BC 6 and start with following medicine:
1. Antim tart 30, 6 pills twice in a day
2. Ipecauc 30, 6 pills three times a day
3. Drosera Q, 5 drops with half cup of water three times in a day

Homoeopathy is safe and effective; so you can start with above prescribed medicine. Surely your baby will get relief.

Hope this helps. For any other query feel free to ask.

Take care

Hello
thanks
If something white sticky discharge is coming out then that is not a problem it is good sign. I feel that once all the sputum comes out of the airway baby will relief. The sputum causes air not to enter the lungs as it covers the passages. The cough is coming out because of sputum being accumulated.
You can stop Ferrum phos but continue XXXXXX mur and medicine I have adviced.
For any assistence feel free to ask.
Thanks

Hello,
Thanks for asking
To increase the appetite, start with

1 China 30 4 pills two times in a day

2 Alfa Alfa Q 4 drops in half cup of water twice in a day

All the medicines are made in Germany. Continue the earlier prescribed medicine.
It will increase the appetite
