Slightly Cough From Some Days

Question

My son is 6 months old, from some days he is coughing, not too much but slightly, and he stops feed. He is completely on formula milk, now we are giving him Meiji FU! He only take milk when he use to sleep! But during awakeness, he is not taking Feeder nipple in his mouth!
Is this relate with cough??

Salam, it does not clearly explaining the ailment. If cough is of that severity which interrupts the feeding. Then this cough does not resolve with sleep. In my opinion if possible take consultation with ENT specialist in order to rule out any pathology. I suspect GER in your baby ( wrong posture , repetitive feeding cause overfeed) possible causes. I recommend to feed the baby placing him in proper position. After feed do not put in crib for sleep at once. Start complementary feeds. In market thickener available very effective. Use syp. Motilium 2ml morning , daytime , evening. Syp. Gaviscon adv. 1.5 ml same timings. Syp. Polypep 2 ml morning eveing. For 10-14 days. Do not hesitate to contact. Hope it will be effective.
