Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years agoA. weight gain in a child is a good indicator for proper health of the child and there should be a regular weight gain as per the age of the child. if there is not a proper weight gain it can be because of many factors like nutritional factor some chronic infection or malabsorption which needs to be ruled out. 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 antitussives medicine which should be given only after a proper evaluation by the doctor according to the type of cough.ut
if fever is there paracetamol can be given to reduce the fever and the dose can be repeated after 6 hours again if required .
