A. Do home based remedies, massage with oil under the feet and on chest at night. Give turmeric milk and besan sheera or besan chilla.

A. Prefer less medicines for babies , instead do home made remedies give jaifal to your baby, give besan chilla or besan sheera for runny nose. every night when baby sleeps give oil massage on chest and below the feet. It gives them relief from congestion and runny nose. I prefer doing home remedies first 3 days.

A. This may due to either allergy or infection and some times due to climate changes and temperature variations . For cold you can give syp allegra 2.5 ml twice daily to the child. try to prevent temperature variations around the child and give nasal saline drops frequently for nasal blockage, simple cough and cold. Indirect steam is helpful. Home remedies like Tulsi Ginger diluted with water combination (honey can be added after 1 year age)and turmeric with milk xat least 2 times per day. Give warm water to drink If no improvement in 2 or 3 days then meet your doctor paracetamol for fever and pain.
