A. Yes sure No food restrictions in cough cold episodes also 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 baby have cold then need steam inhalation, nasal decongestant drops (nasivion baby nasal drops/Otrivin-P nasal drops 1drop in each nostril 3-4 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 if possible , continue to give  all  food items as before, continue breast feed as well till 1.5 yrs of age, It will help for fast recovery.  If decreased oral intake, decreased urine output,  breathing difficulty, Then need to consult  with ur nearest pediatrician.

A. hi yes you can Give green leafy vegetables as they serve as immunity boosting foods. Give all seasonal fruits and fruits rich in vitamin C. Give eggs, fish if non vegetarian in above one year old babies. Curd and Yogurt are full of probiotics , are a great immunity booster for kids. Try including them in the diet as plain Curd, buttermilk, lassi, flavoured yogurt to keep your baby off stomach infections. Nuts such as almonds , walnuts, raisins, dates, figs are a rich source of minerals vitaminsand are rich in antioxidant omega 3 fatty acid, zinc , vitamin E. A sound sleep and sufficient play time is necessary. Washing hands and maintaining hygiene keep away diseases and infection causing bacteria away. Get on time proper vaccinations done.
