A. Cold is most of the time because of some viral infection or allergic condition and symptoms are usually sneezing, running nose, nasal congestion and fever. cough along with throat irritation are usually associated . Treatment consists of antiallergic antipyretics analgesics and decongestants medicine . As a home remedy steam inhalation would be very useful . Medicines like wikoryl / tminic / Alex cold can be used in a proper dose for 3-5 days as per the symptomfds . Steam inhalation is repeated frequently .

A. Hello dear parent! Complete the course of medication as prescribed by your doctor. Maintain a good personal hygiene and make your baby wear comfortable clothing as per the season. Try giving indirect steam inhalation. Continue breastfeeding your baby well on demand. Regularly massage your baby with Babyhug daily massage oil.
