He was on Piriton then Emtrim and cough syrup. The thing stopped then started again. I went back to the hospital and doctor said I should go for chest x-ray.

Please is this idea for a 7 months baby?

Bw: 3.2
Cw: 6 months 9.4

Most cough and catarrh in newborns and infants are viral and resolve without any treatment.

Keep baby warm. Prevent cough and catarrh as well by keeping babies away from those with colds and avoiding baby's contact smokes and fumes

If there's associated high fever or fast or difficulties with breathing then take the child to the hospital for proper evaluation and management.

Cough that persists more than 2 weeks is chronic and will require further evaluation. Kindly see a Paediatrician.
