How can I manage my two years old baby's cough and cold?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Is the baby having a running nose or a blocked nose? If there is a blocked nose, I suggest you put Nasoclear nasal saline drops, two drops in each nostril, three times a day. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and with their consent, take the medicines. Keep a humidifier in the room. That will help in expelling the mucus.

How to manage nosebleeds in a 3-year-old?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. A few common causes of nasal bleeding are dry air, picking the nose, rubbing, allergies, trauma to the head or nose, and nose blowing. In your history, I do not see any history suggestive of trauma or fall. Dry air or nasal picking is a possible cause. When a child has nasal bleeding, make her sit upright in a chair and tilt her head slightly forward.

Why does the cough after choking persist so long in a baby?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Choking while drinking occurs because infants airways are small. Also, if the baby is drinking milk fast some of it can go into the windpipe. Cough reflex immediately after choking is the body's protective mechanism to expel it out. Your niece is still coughing, so it is possible that she has aspirated small amount of milk which is causing the cough.
