Regarding cough cold
My baby boy is 2yr old and his body weight is 11 kg approximately. He is suddenly started coughing from yesterday. I didn't give any medication because it was not much . I just gave him warm water along with clove and Ginger water . I massage his feet in night with warm mustard oil( garlic and carrom seeds). His temp in night was 99.4 and after few hours it becomes normal 98.5. I feel his body temp is normal but his feet and hand is little warm compared to body. Today morning he is coughing little more... so I gave him wikoryl drop 1.2 ml. When I can repeat the medication?

Please don't give any medicine to the baby without doctor's advise.
No medicine needed for occasional cough.
Medicine for cough will depend on the nature of cough, if its dry cough or has sputum with it.
