Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years agoA. Cold is a viral disease that usually occurs with general symptoms,mainly nasal congestion .at times it can be allergic too.
steam inhalation would help in relieving congestion n soothing the irritation in nose and throat .you can give febrex AF/maxtra in a proper dose for 3-5 days as per the symptoms but only under medical guidance.for fever can give calpol 3 times a day .no self treatment should be done.it may take upto two weeks also in recovery so dont worry if gradually symptoms are getting relieved,child will resume normal activities and eating thereafter.can give simple homemade food that's easily digestible can give baniana too and avoid citrus fruits if required. You should keep the room temperature comfortable for the baby and do not expose the baby to direct air of AC if used.

You can make saline drops at home too. Take 8 to 10 tablespoons of warm, filtered water and add ½ tablespoon salt in it and use it as and when needed.
