I think you definitely need to see a doctor, maybe even a private one. As you mentioned earlier, local doctors only prescribe Viferon and antibiotics. It's important to identify the cause of the cough and treat it accordingly. My daughter had a cough with no other symptoms. They did an X-ray at the clinic and it turned out to be right-sided pneumonia. She received injections for 7 days.

They usually don't give anything for cough at such a young age. Cough syrups are not allowed for children under 5 years old. Antibiotics are prescribed after a complete blood count if there are signs of a bacterial infection. You can go to the clinic to get checked out. If they order a blood test, you can understand from it whether there is a bacterial infection or not. There is a service called "ask a doctor". There, you can get a consultation for a small fee, but they usually ask for tests. If they prescribe Viferon - just don't give it if you think it's useless. If there's nothing unusual in the symptoms - keep them hydrated with warm drinks. Usually, the cough in such young children comes from mucus dripping down the back of the throat. In serious cases with cough, they prescribe inhalations with medication.

Nothing. Just to listen, if everything is bad then inhalations.

The doctor needs to examine the child, and then he will prescribe the appropriate syrup for such little ones, or an inhalation.

If a child has been coughing for 5 months, it is important to consult a doctor for professional advice and proper treatment. The doctor will be able to determine the cause of the cough and choose the most effective treatment that will be safe for the baby. It is not advisable to self-medicate or avoid visiting a clinic, as this could lead to a deterioration of the child's condition.
