For a six-month-old baby with cough, pay attention to maintaining a clean environment and ensure good indoor air circulation. Minimize the baby's exposure to potential pollutants such as smoke and polluted air. Provide adequate nutrition to strengthen the baby's immunity by offering foods rich in protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, and calcium, such as milk, soy products, fruits, and vegetables. If the cough in a six-month-old baby is severe, prompt medical consultation is recommended.
