This can occur due to either allergy or infection and some times due to weather changes around the child.
For cold you can give syp maxtra /wikoryl AF 5 ml to the child 2 to 3 times per day. (Helps in decreasing running nose and cold)
Try to prevent temperature variations around the child and give nasal saline drops every three hourly.
Indirect steam can also be given.
For fever and pain give paracetamol
Go for home remedies like Tulsi Ginger honey diluted with water combinationn and turmeric with milk at least 2 times per day.
Give warm water to drink. .
For wet coughing you can give syrup ascoril LS 5ml twice daily to the child

One of the best things to feed babies with a lot of phlegm build-up is some cloves and honey. It is a great expectorant and is also beneficial in reducing, and even preventing, cough. To feed, just dry roast around 5 cloves and grind them well till they’re cooled. Then, add honey to the same and give it to the baby before he sleeps.
