Author of questionGuardian of a 5 yr 1 m old boy3 years agoA. many thanks for the prompt response. appreciate your assistance. he is not having any fever. he had a running nose on the first day which is fine now clear so no cold symptoms as such. it's been all cough. he doesn't spit out anything as such so i assume it's dry cough. he's coughing at irregular interval but he's coughs like for 10+ seconds at a strech

Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years agoA. If baby has symptoms of cough and cold it may last for few days or couple of weeks depending on the severity of infection which may be viral usually.at times may be allergic too.
If there is fever above 99 Fahrenheit you need to give paracetamol 3 times a day to the child.
In case of nasal congestion in cold you can give steam which is the best remedy as well as you can use nasomist saline drops many times in a day one drop in each nostril. In case of cough, the syrup is advised according to the type of cough (dry or productive)which needs to be examined before prescribing the medicine.
If there are aggravated symptoms due to cough and cold ,any breathinghing difficulty the baby has dehydration and not taking feed properly a physical examination is important for which you should contact your treating pediatrician.
