Thank u all for ur suggestions...<br> <span style="color:#3B5998;"><b> @616d9fa7b34e550013ec31f7 </b></span> : thanks for ur reply Dr. But it gets really disturbing when u see a 20 day old coughing hard and struggling to breathe. Can I meet you in person today? I would like to get a consultation.

Viral infections take time to subside dear. Continue medications as prescribed by doctor. Have patience. Continue to breast feed exclusively as that is his best medicine now. And yes u can give a baby a massage with warm mustard oil and transfer heat through ur bare hands to the chest , head face, sole of feets and hands of the baby either from fire or heater.

follow the medicines as prescribed n wait if it doesn't get better go for second <u>opinion</u>

Dear mother. Your anxiety may not be good for you or the baby. Do not expect miracles. Cough takes two to three weeks to disappear. Follow the pediatrician&rsquo;s prescription. Doctor shopping is not advised. Put your faith in the wisdom of the doctor you have consulted. This is not the right platform to seek advice on respiratory infections in a young infant. Without a thorough examination no one can give you correct advice for your baby. Please go back to your pediatrician if you are unhappy with your baby&rsquo;s condition. Be patient. Concern is good and essential. Worry is bad and unnecessary.

hey dear, if you feel that baby is not getting better, there is no harm in getting second opinion, but dont give any medicine without consulting with your doc
