Accepted Answer

can repeat it every two or three hours if needed 
give nasal saline drops every few hourly to the child in the nasal cavity.
try to prevent temperature variations around the child
you can go for indirect steam inhalation which will again help in decreasing both cough and cold
continue the regular diet of the child
if there is no improvement in few days then meet your doctor
for fever and pain give paracetamol.
anti-cold medicines at this age have got side effects so can be given only after medical consultation.

Accepted Answer

You can use it into five or six hours and you can use it 4 to 5 times in the day depending upon the gap that you’re maintaining and it is going to keep the nasal passage open for 4 to 5 hours only so you can use it about 4 to 5 times in the day
