Cough can be caused by acute or chronic inflammation of the respiratory tract due to any etiology. According to the course of the disease, it can be divided into acute cough, subacute cough and chronic cough. There are several common causes of coughing in babies] 1. Choking on milk (or other food): the baby drinks milk and eats food that refluxes from the stomach into the esophagus and mouth, causing choking and coughing 2.
