If your 6-month-old baby has caught COVID and has a deep cough, it is recommended to use a nasal saline solution like Hydrasense or Sinus Rinse for nasal hygiene. This can be done as often as needed throughout the day, followed by suction with a nasal aspirator. It's important to encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids. If the symptoms persist for more than 7 days without improvement, it is advisable to contact a doctor.
