A. 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 comfortablehatr for the baby and do not expose the baby to direct air of AC if used.

A. good morning I would recommend you to give your baby indirect steam and apply baby Vicks rub on the chest and back of your child and avoid exposure to cold air after that for some relief
