hello...
Most of cold,cough / Upper respiratory tract infection is viral only, And it is self limiting.
It will subside with supportive medicine only. So here no need to take Antibiotic, Frequent use of antibiotic harm to your baby, whenever it really needed its does not work(Antibiotic resistance).
So keep your baby away from frequent use of antibiotics.
