A. 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. Winter season has come so in this you have to take some special precautions for the child specially you should give a good diet you can also give jaggery aamla sweet potato nuts seasonal fruits like oranges kivi also give eggs soup etc. 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. You gushould also give vaccinations like flu and other required vaccinations to protect against different seasonal diseases .
