Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years agoA. Cold is most of the time because of viral illness and if the child is having recurrent running nose and nasal congestion it may be a part of allergic rhinitis also so it needs a proper examination.
steam inhalation will be beneficial in both the cases along with decongestant medicine like alex cold/ hatric 3/ sinarest.
As a part so of viral illness there could be associated symptoms like cough and fever which needs tvreatment accordingly along with a proper hydration needs to be maintained .

Janani ViswanathanMom of 2 children3 years agoA. The dosage and frequency of any medication depends on the baby's weight age and severity of the illness. So it's better to get the child examined by ur pediatrician and get the right medication prescribed. At home, Take a cup of water with well cleaned tulsi leaves and black betel leaves and Indian borage leaves in it along with black pepper. Boil this mixture until the water is reduced to half. Then once the water is lukewarm u can filter it and give two spoons of it to ur child.
