A. For cold / running nose give syp wikoryl AF 5 ml to the child 2- 3 times per day. (Helps in decreasing running nose and cold) Prevent temperature variations around the child and give nasal saline drops every three hourly for nasal congestion and block. Indirect steam help in decreasing coughing. paracetamol for fever and pain Go for home remedies like Tulsi Ginger honey diluted with water combination and turmeric with milk at least 2 times per day. Give water at frequent xintervals For wet coughing you can give syrup ascoril LS 5ml twice daily to the child This can ocxcur due to either allergy or infection and some times due to climate changes around child.
