Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. 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 no imxprovement 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.

RashmiMom of a 10 yr 11 m old girl1 Year agoA. Yes of course you can give steam to the child but you have to make sure that you’re giving steam indirectly to your child that you can give three times in the day and that is going to help in melting the mucus that is how you can clean but if the mucus is dry into the nose then you can use a nose aspirator to clean that area
