Doctor's answer:

Mostly, cough is caused by inflammation due to upper respiratory infections. It is recommended to use some anti-inflammatory and antibacterial drugs in combination with a mucus thinner like to treat it. If the cough is severe, you can let the baby inhale steam; moist air helps to thoroughly clear the mucus from the lungs and calm the cough.
