How to treat cold n cough in babies
Baby age - 6 month,
Weight - 9.6kg, Female
The baby has developed cold and cough since "3days" and coughs sometimes. Sneezes to clear it out.
Nasal discharge is watery and somewhat wheetish in color. Thickened a little today.
She doesn't show any feverish symptoms though.
What worries me is she coughs much after first feeding in the morning, and vomits trying to clear the mucus collected overnight.
She had never faced any illness so far since birth.
What kind of medication is suggested? Is medical attention needed? Since I don't have good pediatricians nearby.

Any post graduate degree holder's (pediatrician not self proclaimed one) opinion after physical consultation is better than having online consultation at this age.. when your symptoms r worrying you.

Nasal saline drops 3-4 times daily

Feed in upright posture
Mild cough n sneezing is fine in baby as it's a protective reflex of body
So relax
