Please let me know which medication is best for cold

Accepted Answer

Mostly  cough cold episodes are viral in origin.

They may subside by 3 -9 days

No need of any medication if mild.

If cough and cold then need steam inhalation, nasal decongestant drops (nasivion baby nasal drops 1drop in each nostril 3-4 times a day for 3 days).

And cough syrp or drops as per babys

Cough condition  (wet or dry).

Keep ur baby well hydrated in cough cold  episodes

Proper hand washing, keeping away ur baby from other infected persons, exclusive breast feeding ur baby till 6months of the age, will help for fast recovery.

If decreased urine output, refusal to feed, decreased activity, breathing difficulty

Then need to consult with nearest pediatrician once.

Sinarist you can give 10 drops three times in the day further I would recommend you to consult your doctor if the coldest is apart from that you can also give steam to the child indirectly which is also going to be a lot beneficial in the current situation
