Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children4 years ago
A. Cough and Cold needs to be treated only after a proper examination by a doctor after the exact cause is diagnosed.it may be any infection or it may be allergic too.it may not be related to food items or climate but seasonal changes may aggravate the susceptibility to get infected . maintain good immunity of the child with proper diet and supplements. it may be associated with fever too for which calpol can be given three times a day.. As the first line of treatment for relief you can give steam inhalation which would be of great help .to relieve blocked nose nasoclear drops can also be used multiple times. Cough Syrup or nebulization should be given only after a proper evaluation according to the type of cough .self medication may not be so helpful so please consult your docitor once. if the cough is prfoductive you can give brozeet-ls or ambrodil syrup for now only n continue only after doctor's advice.avoid refrigerated items and give simple home-made preparations a required.child will gradually begin to eat as symptoms resolve.

A. Hi mom. Cold and cough can take 3-9 days. So no need to worry. Continue to give medicine prescribed by the doctor. Also give indirect steam to ur baby 2-3 times in a day and apply baby rub on the chest and feet of the baby to get relief from cough and cold
