Q.

My baby boy is 5 months and 24 days old, i exclusively breastfed him for 4 months. After that due to medical reasons and health issues I had to stop breastfeeding. Now he is completely on formula feed, but occasionally he is catching cold, how can I avoid it and suggest home remedies if any

A. give nasal saline drops every few hourly to the child in the nasal cavity. try to prevent temperature variations around the child you can go for indirect steam inhalation which will again help in decreasing both coughx and cold continue the regular diet of the child if there is no improvement in few days then meet your doctor for feverx and pain give paracetamol. anti-cold medicines at this age have got side effects so can be given only after medical consultation.
