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

AbhayaMom of a 15 yr 9 m old boy1 Year agoA. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. Please give indirect steam to the baby. Also rub lukewarm mustard oil on baby chest. You can apply baby’s Vaporub on kids clothes near chest area. You can also give honey in lukewarm water to the baby.
Thanks and take care
