Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children4 years agoA. Cold is a viral disease that may occur with symptoms like sneezing, running nose, cough ,sore throat, nasal congestion and fever.at times it can be allergic too.
Treatment consists of antihistamines antipyretics analgesics and decongestants .
steam inhalation would help in relieving congestion n soothing the irritation in nose and throat .
Medicines like sinarest/wikoryl /ascoril flu cold can be given inh a proper dose according to the weight for 3-5 days as per the symptoms but it will be better to take only under medicallpo guidance.so please get examination and treatment done by your pediatrician it will be better.no self treatment should be done.
