Mild cough can be monitored with adequate fluid intake. When symptoms are noticeable, use children's-specific cough syrup or child-safe antihistamines. If the cough persists or is accompanied by other symptoms such as high fever or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's instructions for medication. Never give adult medications to infants casually, as this may cause adverse reactions. Medication should always be administered under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.
