Answer

apply baby nasal spray

Answer

This can occur due to either allergy or infection and some times due to weather changes and temperature variations around the child.
For cold you can give syp allegra 2.5 ml twice daily to the child.
try to prevent temperature variations around the child and give nasal saline drops every three hourly for nasal blockage and simple cough and cold. Indirect steam will also help.d

Go for home remedies like Tulsi Ginger diluted with water combination and turmeric with milk at least 2 times per day.d(honey can be added after 1 year age)
Give warm water to drink 
If no improvement in 2 or 3 days then meet your doctor 
For fever and pain give paracetamol.
