A. give nasal saline drops every few hourly to the child in the nasal cavity. try to prevent temperature variations around the child you can go for indirect steam inhalation which will again help in decreasing both coudgh and cold continue the regular diet of the child if there is no improvement in few days then meet your doctor for fevedr and pain give paracetamol. anti-cold medicines at this age have got side effects so can be given only after medical consultation.

A. hi dear If your baby has a cold with no complications, it should resolve within 10 to 14 days. Most colds are simply a nuisance. But it's important to take your baby's signs and symptoms seriously. If symptoms don't improve or if they worsen, it's time to talk to your doctor.
