A. it is important to keep the child hydrated. anti cold medicines are not given without medical consultation what you can give now is nasal saline drops which is salt water and can be given again and again to decrease nasal blockage as well as cough and scold try to prevent temperature variations around the child and keep the child well covered. can give indirect steam inhalation . anti-cold medicines at this age have got side effects so can be givesn only after medical consultation.
