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 canv be added after 1 year age)and turmeric with milk at 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.

A. For a one-year-six-month-old baby, it's essential to consult with a pediatrician before giving any medication, including cold syrup. A pediatrician can assess your baby's symptoms and provide appropriate recommendations based on their age, weight, and health condition. If your baby is experiencing cold symptoms such as a runny nose, congestion, or cough, the pediatrician may recommend specific medications or remedies tailored to your baby's needs. These may include saline nasal drops, a cool mist humidifier, or certain over-the-counter medications formulated for infants and young children. It's crucial to follow the pediatrician's guidance and dosage instructions carefully to ensure the safe and effective treatment of your baby's cold symptoms. Additionally, be sure to monitor your baby closely for any signs of improvement or worsening of symptoms and contact your pediatrician if you have any concerns or questions.
