Most of the time cough cold, fever  are viral in origin, it may subside by 3 -9 days.

No need of any medication if mild.

If fever above 100F then need fever medication  (paracetmol) as per weight.

If baby have cold then need steam inhalation, nasal decongestant drops (nasivion baby nasal drops/Otrivin-P nasal drops 1drop in each nostril 3-4 times a day for 3 days).

If cough then need cough syrup or drops as per babys cough condition  (wet or dry).

Keep ur baby well hydrated in cough cold fever episode

Maintain hygiene, hand wash properly,

Fever has a nature of repeating within six hours every time so you can continue with fever medicine for maximum 72 hours that approximately completing three days and if the fever still does not subside by then in that case you may have to go for a blood test for the child
