for fever and pain give paracetamol.
anti-cold medicines at this age have got side effects so can be given only after medical consultation.
Janani ViswanathanMom of 2 children1 Year agoA. The dosage and frequency of any medication depends on the severity of the illness and the babys weight. So its better if you can get the baby examined by your doctor once and follow his advice on this. And not every cold will need a medication.
