Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years agoA. Cold most of the time is a viral illness where there could be running nose sneezing along with cough and it needs supportive care along with proper hydration . steam inhalation will also be useful in this .
cough needs to be treated with anti allergic and expectorant bronchodilators or antitussives medicine which should be used once a proper evaluation by the doctor is done and according to the type of cfough its prescribed.
if any fever is there c paracetamol can be given to reduce the temperature and the dose can be repeated again after 6 hours if required .

Hello I would advise you the doctor would be able to give you a better guidance on the kind of medicine that you should be using for the child because the child is too small don’t give any medicine without doctors consent but yes you can just give indirect steam and nebulisation to the child as of now
