Treatment consists of antihistamines antipyretics analgesics and decongestants .
steam inhalation would help in relieving congestion n soothing the irritation in nose and throat .
Medicines like maxtra/wikoryl /ascoril flu cold can be given in a proper dose according to the weight for 3-5 days as per the symptoms but it will be better to take only under medical guidance.so please get examination and treatment done by your pediatrician it will be better.no self treatment should be done.special care during changing weather conditions priorly includes maintaining utmost hygiene and all the safety precautions to be followed.
children are more vulnerable for infection because of less immunity and exposure to infectious agents specially in any change in weather conditions where the chances of infection get increased.
so you should give a proper balanced diet for nutritional requirements to get fulfilled along with that timely vaccinations should be done. for current situation flu or influenza vaccine becomes important to protect against different flu viruses .
