if child is suffering from cold then what will be normal medicine

A. For a child suffering from a cold, treatment typically focuses on relieving symptoms, as colds are usually caused by viral infections and do not require antibiotics. Here’s a general guide to medicines and remedies based on age: --- 1. Medicines (Consult a Doctor Before Use) For Infants (Below 1 Year): Nasal Drops: Saline nasal drops (like Nasoclear) to clear a stuffy nose. Fever: Paracetamol drops (like Crocin) for fever or discomfort, as prescribed by a pediatrician. For Toddlers and Older Children: Paracetamol: For fever or body aches (e.g., Crocin or Calpol). Antihistamines: For runny nose and sneezing, like Cetirizine (as prescribed). Cough Syrup: Use age-appropriate syrups (e.g., Ascoril) only if recommended. Steam Inhalation: Helps with congestion (for children above 2 years). --- 2. Home Remedies Warm Fluids: Give warm water, soup, or honey mixed with lukewarm water (only for children above 1 year). Turmeric Milk: Warm milk with a pinch of turmeric helps reduce throat irritation. Ginger Tea: A mild ginger brew (for kids above 2 years) can soothe congestion. Elevated Sleeping Position: Keep the child’s head elevated while sleeping to ease breathing. Warm Compress: Apply a warm compress to relieve nasal congestion. --- 3. Precautions Avoid giving over-the-counter (OTC) cold medicines to children under 6 without medical advice. Keep the child hydrated. Do not use honey for children under 1 year due to the risk of botulism. --- If the child has persistent symptoms, high fever, wheezing, or difficulty breathing, consult a doctor immediately.
