Brief answer:Could be bronchitis, needs examination by pediatrician and nebulization. Detailed answer:Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. I see similar cases in my clinic every day. A 5-month baby with congested chest, cough and cold might be suffering from bronchiolitis. In bronchiolitis, nebulization needs to be given and a complete chest examination by a pediatrician is mandatory. I advise you to meet the pediatrician and get the child examined. I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care. Regards: Chat Doctor.
