Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your infant have symptoms of cough and running nose which occurs due to upper respiratory infection bacterial or viral. Need not to worry. You should take over-the-counter cough medicines, cough suppressants, or expectorants , which give relief from coughing. Avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages. I would suggest you to consult pediatrician once and get it examined. Doctor may order certain test like nose or throat culture and test , blood test , viral culture test and chest X-ray to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other condition like viral infection. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics , anti inflammatory and decongestants.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
