A. Cough along with Cold most of the time is a viral illness and it needs supportive care along with proper hydration. you can give steam inhalation which is very useful . cough needs to be treated with anti allergic and expectorant bronchodilators or antitufdssives medicine which should be given only after a proper evaluation by the doctor according to the type of cough. if fever is there paracetamol can be given to reduce the fever and the dose can be repeafted after 6 hours again if required .

A. Adequate rest and sleep can refresh the child. During rest, the body can dedicate energy to healing rather than distributing it to deal with other activities. If the child is reluctant to sleep, pick activities which can restrict movement like colouring, solving puzzles, or playing with a favourite toy. If you have time, tell them stories, watch videos together or teach them rhymes. This way, with less movement, the body will be able to direct more energy towards healing the actual ailment
