A. This can occur due to either allergy or infection and some times due to climate changes around child. For cold / running nose give syp wikoryl AF 5 ml to the child 2- 3 times per day. (Helps in decreasing running nose and cold) Prevent temperature variations around the child and give nasal saline drops every three hourly for nasal congestion and block. For wet coughing you can give syrup ascoril LS 5ml twice daily to the child Indirect steam help in decreasing coughing For fever and pain give paracetamol Go for home remedies like Tulsi Ginger honey diluted with water comsbination and turmeric with milk at least 2 times per day. Give warm water to drink.

Winter season has come so in this you have to take some special precautions for the child specially you should give a good diet you can also give jaggery aamla sweet potato nuts seasonal fruits like oranges kivi also give eggs soup etc. A proper skin care is also very important where you should use a good moisturizer for the baby like senosun lotion or physiogel . Soap of the baby should also be mild which shoulfed not cause any dryness . Make the child wear proper clothes also which should cover the child in a proper way to avoid exposure to cold.
