Answer
Most often, occasional coughs in newborns are due to inflammation caused by upper respiratory tract infections. It is recommended to use some antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medications, along with expectorants such as Mucosolvan, for treatment. If the cough is severe, you can let the baby inhale steam to help clear lung mucus and alleviate cough symptoms.
