try to prevent temperature variations around the child
you can go for indirect steam inhalation which will again help in decreasing both coughd and cold
continue the regular diet of the child
if there is no improvement in few days then meet your doctorx
for fever and pain give paracetamol.
anti-cold medicines at this age have got side effects so can be given only after medical consultation.
