A. no need to worry.. every child has unique pace for development activities.. you can try giving him support like stick or his cycle or wall or sofa ... make him stand with support first and automatically he will start walking with support and eventually into walking without support....

A. cough and cold could be infective or allergic in cause.give steam to relieve nasal congestion which is of great help and nasoclear drops can also be used in nose multiple times.you can also give sinarest drops . cough syrup or nebulization should be given according to the type of cough and only under the guidance of your pediatrician .self medication is not recommended. if the cough is productive give asthakind-ls. Usually due to the symptoms if the child is not showing interest in having food, give only simple home-made preparations as required, can give certain fruits like apple, papaya etc. ,child will start to eat as symptoms get resolved. Due to seasonal cfdhanges or due to repeated exposure to the infective agent if the child is catching cold and cough repeatedly you need to develop good immunity by giving proper balanced diet and multi -vitamin supplements under medical guidance.

A. You can actually go ahead with giving nebulisation to the child twice a day for at least 5 to 7 days minimum that is going to help quite a lot in reducing congestion from the chest and throat of the child so I think that would be the right option for you to work over right nowWrite Your Answer Here
