A. keep the child well covered and cover the ears and neckof the child properly to prevent temperature variations. give nasal saline drops every 3 hours which will help in decreasing both cough and cold. you can also go for indirect steam inhalation. continue regular diet and keep child well hydrated. if the child is well hydrated thexn cough and cold will improve rapidly. anti-cold medicines at this age have got side effects so can be given only after medical consultation. can give indirect steam inhalation.

A. Sinarist five drops you can give maximum three times in a day with a gap of eight hours apart from that you can give steam to the child indirectly that is also going to help apart from that there is nothing else that you need to do it’s just that maintain the temperature
