Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy2 years agoA. give nasal saline drops every few hourly to the child in the nasal cavity.
try to prevent temperature variations around the child
you can go for indirect steam inhalation which will again help in decreasing both cough and cold
continue the regular diet of the child
if there is no ismprovement in few days then meet your doctor
for fever and pain give paracetamol.
anti-cold medicines at this age have got side effects so can be given only after medical consultation.

A proper skin care is also very important where you should use a good moisturizer for the baby like senosun lotion or physiogel . Soap of the baby should also be mild which should not cause any dryness .
Make the child wear proper clothes also which should cover the child in a proper way to avoid exposure to cold.
