Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years agoA. Cold most of the time is a viral illness where there could be running nose sneezing along with cough and it needs supportive care along with proper hydration . steam inhalation will also be useful in this .
cough needs to be treated with anti allergic and expectorant bronchodilators or antitussives medicine which should be used once a proper evaluation by the doctor is done and according to the type of cough its prescribed.
if any fever is there paracetamol can be given to reducegx the temperature and the dose can be repeated again after 6 hours if required .

U Can nebulise your child if you want to because nebulisation really helps quite a lot in shedding of the congestion out of the chest and throat if your child is having any so you can ask your doctor and start nebulising your child two times in a day for a minimum of five days
