ExpertDr Sameer awadhiyaPaediatrician4 years agoA. Cold is a viral disease that usually occurs with symptoms like sneezing, running nose, cough ,sore throat, nasal congestion and fever.at times it can be allergic too.
Treatment consists of antihistamines antipyretics analgesics and decongestants .
steam inhalation would help in relieving congestion n soothing the irritation in nose and throat .you can give sinarest/ascoril flu cold in a proper dose for 3-5 days as per the symptoms but only under medical guidance.for fever give calpol.no self treatment should be done.it may take upto two weeks also in recovery so dont worry if gradually symptoms are getting relieved.child will resume normal activ orities and eating thereafter.

mam,such mild illness doesn't need any medication.
instead of it ,you can try some homemade remedies like:
give mixture of honey and lemon juice in one tsp quantity twice in a day.
or prepare kadha with warm water, Tulsi leaves, pinch of turmeric powder, ajwain seeds and few drops of ginger juice.
