A. Cold is most of the time because of viral illness and if the child is having recurrent running nose and nasal congestion it can be allergic rhinitis also so it needs a proper examination. steam inhalation will be beneficial in both the cases along with decongestant medicine like wwikoryl, alex cold In viral illness there can be cough and fever which needs treatment accordingly along with a proper hydration .

A. Though It is mostly not recommended so you should not be using you can use it on the back and feet of your child it is not recommended to apply it on the chest and nose of your child it does have its side-effects which is why I would not advise you to use it
