Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children2 years agoA. Cold most of the time is a viral illness where there could be running nose sneezing along with cough and it needs supportive care along with proper hydration . steam inhalation will also be useful in this .
cough needs to be treated with anti allergic and expectorant bronchodilators or antittussives medicigne which should be used once a proper evaluation by the doctor is done and according to the type of cough its prescribed.
if any fever is there paracetamol can be given to reduce the temperature and the dose can be repeated again after 6 hours if required .

You can give Calpol drops to your baby and can repeat the medicine and every 7 hours gap. If baby doesn’t get relief but always check the temperature before giving medication. Still you baby doesn’t get leave then you have to consult with your doctor about it.
