A. yes can do try to prevent temperature variations around child that is from hot to cold and cold to hot environment. Keep the child well covered. If the palms and soles of the child are cold to touch then the child is feeling cold and you have to take preventive measures to make the child warm. you can go for home remedies like Tulsi Ginger Honey (Add honey if child is more than 1 year of age) combination which can be diluted with water and given frequently to the child. also u can give turmeric with warm milk one or two times everyday. d give warm water to drink as well as nasal saline drops frequently.

A. hi no , don't use nebulizer without consulting your pediatrician. for coughing ,i advise to keep your child well hydrated apply Babyhug rapid relief rub on chest and back of your child. you can prepare small ball from jeggary+ pinch of turmeric powder and dry ginger powder , give it to your child at sleeping time to keep in mouth . it will definitely help. keep your child head slightly elevated while sleeping
