Cold is most of the time because of viral illness and if the child is having recurrent running nose and nasal congestion it can be allergic rhinitis also so it needs a proper examination. steam inhalation will be beneficial in both thre cases along with decongestant medicine like wikoryl,gg alex cold In viral illness there can be cough and fever which needs treatment accordingly along with a proper hydration .

A. Hi mommy Use saline nasal drops Consult with your doctor in person for proper physical examination and treatment see your own treating doctor can guide you more and can solve your problems 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 cough and cold continue the regular diet of the child if there is s no improvement in few days then meet your doctor for fever and pain give paracetamol. anti-cold medicines at this age have got side effects so can be given only after medical consultation.
