Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years agoA. you should maintain proper distance and used all sanitization protocol to prevent the baby from getting the infection spread by you Cough and Cold should be treated only after a proper examination by a doctor after diagnosis.it may be any infective or allergic.it is not so related to food items like banana etc.but seasonal changes may aggravate.
if with fever too ,calpol can be given three times a day.give steam inhalation to relieve blocked nose and nasoclear drops can also be used multiple times.
Cough Syrup or nebulization should be given according to the type of cough .self medication is not advisable. if the cough is productive you can give ascoril-ls syrup for now only n continue in proper doses only after doctor's guidance.avoid refrigerated items and give only simple home-made preparations as required.child will gradually begin to eat as symptoms resolve.

mam,you should offer plenty of breastfeeds to your child.
it contains antibodies which help your child to fight against viral or bacterial Infections.
dress your child in weather appropriate clothes.
give Sunbath for 20 minutes a day.
you can take mixture of honey and ginger in one tsp quantity twice in a day for this
