"Does my 11-month-old child have a cough?"

If your 11-month-old child has a cough, it is important to focus on nasal hygiene. You can do this as often as needed throughout the day, and at least 30 minutes before bedtime to prevent any residual water from falling into the throat. Avoid giving syrup, as it is not effective for coughs. Instead, encourage your child to drink regularly to help soothe the cough and throat.
