A. 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 regulzar 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.

A. In this here it is very difficult to comment properly until a proper examination or assessment is done to find out the exact cause so it is advisable to consult your doctor so that he could examine and evaluauhte properly and will guide you accordingly for this .

A. If you know that kind of home care you want to give is going to help your child then please continue with Home care otherwise if you’re looking for a faster relief to the child it is always best to visit the paediatrician they can help you with right medicines and precautions to be taken care of
