A. Hi, no alerid is not to be given three times a day. It’s recommended to be given once a day usually at night. It’s given twice a day in special circumstances. It’s better to use them only on the advice of your doctor. For home remedy can try saline nose drops and hot towel over the chest.

A. No medication without prescription please consult a paediatrician and he will guide you better after examination and analysis. Light massage of mustard oil or coconut oil will help your baby to get relief from cough. Do massage on chest & back of your baby. Roast 2–3 big cloves of garlic & few pinches of Ajwain on tawa for just one minute. You will be able to smell powerful fumes. Let the mixture cool down and keep near your child. The smell of mixture will heal the cold & cough of your child. You can also bind the mixture in pouch for better handling. Warm up coconut oil and add tulsi leaves. Apply this oil on chest of your baby before sleep. You can also do hair massage with same oil . It will give relief to your cold and cough put a room humidifier in the room and add few drops of eucalyptus or peppermint oil That soothes them against cough and is very effective Also if there is stuffy nose or wheezing Put organic eucalyptus rub on the clothes Like under shirt
