A. For a 3-year-10-month-old with a cold, you can manage symptoms at home with safe remedies and medications if needed. Home Remedies for Cold Relief: ✅ Saline Nasal Drops – Helps clear nasal congestion. Use 2-3 drops per nostril before sleeping. ✅ Steam Inhalation – Let your child sit in a steamy bathroom or use a humidifier to ease congestion. ✅ Honey (if over 1 year) – Give half a teaspoon of honey to soothe a sore throat and cough. ✅ Turmeric Milk – Warm milk with a pinch of turmeric helps with immunity. ✅ Fluids & Rest – Offer warm soups, water, fresh juices, and breast/formula milk to keep the child hydrated. ✅ Avoid Cold Air & Dust – Keep the child warm and away from strong odors, dust, and smoke. Medicines (Only If Needed & Pediatrician-Approved) ➡ Paracetamol (Crocin, Calpol) – For fever above 100.4°F (38°C) (as per doctor's dosage). ➡ Antihistamines (Cetirizine, Montelukast) – If prescribed for runny nose or allergies. ➡ Cough Syrup – Only if recommended by the doctor.
