A. Cough along with Cold and fever most of the time is a viral illness or allergic and it needs supportive care along with proper hydration needs to be maintained. you can give steam inhalation which may be useful . cough needs to be treated with medicine like anti allergic expectorant bronchodilators antitussives or cough suppresents medicine which should be given only after a proper evaluation by the doctor according to the type of cough and need. In severe cough nebulisation can be given where fmedicine directly gets dilivered in the respiratory tract. Also if fevter is there paracetamol can be given to reduce the fever and the dose is 15 mg/ kg body weight and can be repeated after 6 hours again if required . Home remedies like Tulsi & ginger mix in honey can be tried for soothing.

A. Camphor and Coconut Oil Massage: massaging the throat, chest, and torso with heated coconut and camphor. warms the body. A mustard oil massage also has the same effect. Steam: inhaling steam loosens the phlegm blocking the nasal passage and chest.
