A. it can be guven for 5 days . Mild cough and cold may be due to any wheather changes . Medicine should be avoided and only steam should be given to baby 2 to 4 times in a day .if cough is troublesome then asthakind LS can be given to baby 3 times in a day .

A. Hello dear parent! If the fever reduces, stop giving meftal. If you are still concerned then consult your doctor over phone the dosage and duration. Maintain a good personal hygiene for your baby, make your baby wear comfortable clothing as per the season. Follow your doctor’s advice diligently.
