ExpertDr. Pandurang sawantPaediatrician7 years agoA. Yes sure Upper respiratory tract infection is very common till 3 yrs of age Most of the time cough cold, fever are viral in origin, it may subside by 3 -9 days. No need of any medication if mild. If fever above 100F then need fever medication (paracetmol) as per weight. If cold then need steam inhalation, nasal decongestant drops (nasivion baby nasal drops/Otrivin-P nasal drops 1drop in each nostril 3 times a day for 3 days). If cough then need cough syrup or drops as per babys cough condition (wet or dry). Keep ur baby well hydrated in cough cold fever episode Maintain hygiene, hand wash properly, Keep ur baby away from other infected persons, continue to give all food items as before, continue breast feed as well till 1.5 months of age. It will help for fast recovery. If decreased oral intake, decreased urine output, breathing difficulty, Then need consultation with nearest pediatrician.

SantoMom of a 8 yr 9 m old girl7 years agoA. Saline drops are quite effective. Indirect steaming will also give instant relief. Keep baby hydrated that is more important and also Feed frequently every few hours. Keep your baby's head high for better breathing.
