Accepted Answer

This can occurs due to weather changes and temperature variations or simple cold and rarely infection.

kindly give nasal saline drops (nasoclear /nasivion s)every three hourly and since it is a salt water/saline water it does nott have any side effects and can be given again and again for nasal blockage and respiratory cough.
It will dissolve mucus in nose and throat.
For fever and pain give paracetamol
Try to prevent temperature variations around the child and you can also give indirect steam inhalation and if there is no improvement in 2 or 3 days then meet your doctor

hi
the first treatment you can provide is offer plenty of breastfeeds.
I advise this because breastmilk contains antibodies which help your child to fight against viral or bacterial Infections.
Along with that , give Massage with heated mustard oil on your child chest and back.
