A. nasal saline drops can be given again and again to the child because it is salt water which will help in decreasing the nasal blockage by clearing the mucus try to prevent temperature variations around the child which is the most common cause of coughd and cold in small children.can give indirect steam inhalation . anti-cold medicines at this age have got side effects so can be given only after medical consultation. for fever and pain give paracetamol continue the regulard diet which is being given to the child

A. Hello dear parent, do nk ot worry. Give your baby steam for few minutes and several times in a day. As steam actually helps in opening up nasal passages and also clears congestion of the baby. Give him feed regularly and must burp him after every feed by holding him in upright position and massage his back for 20 mins and 4 burps are necessary. Good luck and take care
