Hi, at 5mnths, if you have already introduced papaya, and now if you are giving(with exisiting conditions,cold and cough),,then you can give.
whenever your child is having ne probs, colds,coughs or fever or neother things,,dont introduce ne new fruit or vegie...
the best thing to do is, apply vicks baby rub on his chest, feet, back of chest,,and then make him wear airy but 2-3layers of cotton clothes,,avoid wool,,it might cause body temp to go high resulting in fever...
and yes, fix an appointment with your dr, so that proper medication is followed on time and with help of your dr, your baby recovers without ne further delay.
5months of age is too young to try ne home remedies..if at all failure occurs,,your baby will suffer more and you will end up giving more medicine later on ! so take him to dr..
meanwhile, vicksbabyrub, saline drops(if in US),,often helps to deal with
congestion jamd in chest or nasal passages...
take care !

namesake salt is not a prob,,avoid sugar.
yes you can start him with vegetables, carrots,peas,greenbeans,sweet potato,,all boiled,pureed or mashed...
give him warm soups, he will like it ! do some tadka of ghee and curry leaves, a very lil name sake hing,crushed jeera,, and add the dal water, and vegies, offer in texture pref by your baby,,he will like it.
babies of this age, often taken time to accept solids,,there is no hurry,,,as far as he is drinking formula/bm good, you shouldnt be worried,,most babies skip their solid feeds until 8months,,its perfectly fine !
however, keep trying,,right now you can offer him single grain cereal/baby cereals,,overboiled rice soup(overboil it,mash it,do a light tadka,he will like it,,,add in some dal water or boiled vegie),,to prevent your baby from freq colds and coughs,,,offer him diluted(fresh juice mixed with water1:4,5,6),,atleast once a day, upto 4tablespoons,,esp the mosambi,orange juice,,vit c protects from all cold prbs..
as of now, this is enough for him,,not more is requiredd,,
take care,,,
good luck
