Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children2 years agoA. Cough along with Cold and fever most of the time is a viral illness or allergic and it needs supportive care along with proper hydration needs to be maintained. you can give steam inhalation which may be useful .
cough needs to be treated with medicine like anti allergic expectorant bronchodilators antitussives or cough suppresents medicine which should be given only after a proper evaluation by the doctor according to the type of cough and need.
In severe cough nebulisation can be given where medicine directly gets dilivered in the respiratory tract.
Also if fever is there paracetamol can be given to reduce the fever and the dose is 15 mg/ kg body tweight and can be repeated after t6 hours again if required .
Home remedies like Tulsi & ginger mix in honey can be tried for soothing.

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy2 years agoA. It's perfectly normal for your child to get eight colds or more every year . This is because her immune system is still developing, which means it can't fend off cold viruses as well as an adult's . The common cold is also sometimes known as an upper respiratory tract infection .
