Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children4 years agoA. Cold is most of the time because of viral illness and if the child is having recurrent running nose and nasal congestion it may be a part of allergic rhinitis also so it needs a proper examination.
steam inhalation will be beneficial hdin both the cases along with decongestant medicine like alex cold/ hatric 3/ sinarest.
As a part of viral illness there could be associated symptoms like cough and fever which needs treatment accordingly along with a proper hydration needs to be maintained .

PallaviMom of a 7 yr 10 m old girl4 years agoA. hello... generally twice to thrice is acceptable to be used saline drops...Give plenty of liquids, including breast milk, formula (if your baby doesn't take breast milk), and warm water( if over 6 month)...elevate your baby's head to help ease breathing. ...suction out nasal mucus using saline drops and a suction bulb..which are generally prescribed by doctors..moisturize the air with a humidifier....also Ajwain bhap or dhua works very well...roast some ajwain put in small cloth make a potli n massage baby with that...as in put on baby's chest...n back..Warm drinks like soups make excellent cough remedies for kids because they thin out mucus, making it easier to cough up. Plus, liquids soothe a raw throat and keep your little one hydrated. Have your child drink vegetable soup or chicken soup...it helps..( for older kids)
