5 months old baby cough & flu

Question

My baby is 5 months plus and is having cough, phelgm and slight flu. Any tips to help him feel better? Is there medicine apart from panadol? #1stimemom #firstbaby

They cannot take panadol at this age. If you go pd they’ll prescribe saline spray/drop for the nose. They won’t prescribe any cough medicine. You can go pharmacy and buy saline spray to induce the mucus to flow out and use a aspirator to suck it out afterwards. It’ll be good if you have a humidifier at home.
