Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years agoA. Cold is a viral disease that usually occurs with general symptoms,mainly nasal congestion .at times it can be allergic too.
steam inhalation would help in relieving congestion n soothing the irritation in nose and throat .you can give febrex AF/maxtra in a proper dose for 3-5 days as per the symptoms but only under medical guidance.for fever can give calpol 3 times a day .no self treatment should be done.it may take upto two weeks also in recovery so dont worry if gradually symptoms are getting relieved,child will resume normal activities and eating thereafter.can give simple homemade food that's easily digestible can give banana too and avoid citrus fruits if required. You should keep the room temperature comfortable for the baby and do not expose the bjbaaby to direct air of AC if used.

yes but please don't self medicate your child,the dosage of medicine depends on Child health, age and weight,so it would be better to consult your pediatrician before giving it.
at home,
please keep your child well hydrated
dress your child lightly
rub onion slices on your child chest back and sole.
it will definitely help
