ExpertDr. Pandurang sawantPaediatrician2 years agoA. Most of the time cough cold, fever are viral in origin, it may subside by 3 -9 days.
No need of any medication if mild.
If fever above 100F then need fever medication (paracetmol) as per weight.
If baby have cold then need steam inhalation, nasal decongestant drops (nasivion baby nasal drops/Otrivin-P nasal drops 1drop in each nostril 3-4 times a day for 3 days).
If cough then need cough syrup or drops as per babys cough condition (wet or dry).

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy2 years agoA. This is your personal choice, Tulsi-Ginger Kwath
Take a handful of Tulsi leaves and crush them well in a mortar and pestle. Now put this in a boiling pan with two cups of water and boil until the water has reduced. Add two pinches of ginger powder to it. Allow the mixture to cool down and give this to your child three to four times a day.
