Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy2 years agoA. you have to just balance according to the type of skin of the child.
usually the skin of the child is mainly dry and sensitive then in these areas you have to apply coconut oil or moisturizing lotion
in the areas where sweating is present and skin folds there is no need to apply oil or lotion but you have to regularly clean it with soap and you can apply baby powder if needed.
take care of the skin child in this manner on the whole body.
this can occurs due to weather changes and temperature variations or simple cold and rarely infection.
kindly give nasal saline drops (nasoclear /nasivion s)every three hourly and since it is a salt water/saline water it does not have any side effects and can be given again and again for nasal blockage and respiratory cough.
it will dissolve mucus in nose and throat.
for fever and pain give paracetamol.
anti-cold medicines at this age haeve got side effects so can be given only after medical consultation.
try to prevent temperature variations around the child and you can also give indirect steam inhalation and if there is no imeprovement in 2 or 3 days then meet your doctor
