A. Cough and Cold needs to be treated only after a proper examination by a doctor after the exact cause is diagnosed.it may be any infection or it may be allergic too.it is not so related to food items or climate but seasonal changes may aggravate the susceptibility to get infected.avoid refrigerated food items .maintain good immunity of the child with proper diet and supplements. it may be associated with fever too for which calpol can be given three times a day.. As the first line of treatment for relief you can give steam inhalation which would be of great help .to relieve blocked nose nasoclear drops can also be used multiple times. Cough Syrup or nebulization should be given only after a proper evaluation according to the type of cough .self medication may not be so helpful so please consult your doctor once. if the cough icrs productive you can give brozeet-ls or ambrodil syrup for now only n continue only after doctor's advice.avoid refrigerated items and give simple home-made preparations a required.child will gradually begin to eat as symptoms resolve.

A. hello...try home remedies then give medicine..Give plenty of liquids, including breast milk, formula (if your baby doesn't take breast milk), and warm water( if over 6 month)...elevate your baby's head to help ease breathing. ...suction out nasal mucus using saline drops and a suction bulb..which are generally prescribed by doctors..moisturize the air with a humidifier....also Ajwain bhap or dhua works very well...roast some ajwain put in small cloth make a potli n massage baby with that...as in put on baby's chest...n back..Warm drinks like soups make excellent cough remedies for kids because they thin out mucus, making it easier to cough up. Plus, liquids soothe a raw throat and keep your little one hydrated. Have your child drink vegetable soup or chicken soup...it helps..( for older kids)
