A. For treating cough and cold in children, it's always best to consult with a pediatrician to ensure the right treatment based on the child's age, symptoms, and overall health. However, here are a few commonly used types of medications for children: For Cough: Honey: For children above 1 year old, honey can be soothing for a cough and throat irritation. Dextromethorphan: A common ingredient in over-the-counter (OTC) cough syrups that helps suppress the cough reflex (but should be used under medical advice). Honey and Lemon Syrup: These can provide relief and soothe a sore throat, especially for dry cough. For Cold: Saline Nasal Drops/Spray: To clear the nasal passages and ease congestion. It's safe for young children, even babies. Paracetamol (Acetaminophen): For fever or discomfort associated with cold. This can be given to children depending on their age and weight. Antihistamines: For runny noses, but these should only be used under a pediatrician's guidance. For Both (Cough & Cold): Ascoril: A commonly prescribed syrup for cough and cold in children, but it should only be used under medical supervision, as it may not be suitable for all types of coughs. Remember, always check the age restrictions, dosage guidelines, and possible side effects of any medication before giving it to your child. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to consult with your pediatrician.
