Dr. Vaibhav jainFather of a 6 yr old girl5 years agoA. yes steam can be given . It is common in this season. At home steam can be given to baby. If there is any nasal block then nasovion pediatrics nasal drop 2 drops at each nostril for 3 times a day. For fever calpol drop and for cough and cold asthakind drop 1 ml 3 times a day can be given. Dose may vary accirding to weight. But this much is fine for now. If any breathing difficulity then see a pesiatrician.
