Should I consult a doctor if my 2 and a half month old baby has had a dry cough for less than 24 hours?

It is not necessary to consult a doctor at this time for a baby with a dry cough for less than 24 hours. As long as the baby does not develop a fever for 2 days, it is advised to avoid visiting a doctor, especially in the current situation. You can try using the nasal hygiene technique provided in the link to help clear mucus from the baby's nose. Most children see improvement in their symptoms, such as coughing, in less than 24 hours.
