A. Baby is having cold cough and fever then it can be due to viral infection you need to give him steam inhalation indirectly to times in the day and also keep him well hydrated .consult with your doctor near by who will examine the baby and guide you with appropriate medications in their proper dose. Viral fever can last from 3-5 days so you need to to give the prescribed medications for this duration at least and if it is persistent beyond you need to go for the investigation as per the advice of the doctorIf your baby is passing frequent loose watery stools then it can be due to infection either bacterial infection or viral diarrhoea. so better to consult with the doctor meanwhile keep him well hydrated by giving ORS frequent times, zinc supplements and probiotics
