A. Cough along with Cold most of the time is a viral illness and it needs supportive care along with proper hydration. you can give steam inhalation which is very useful . cough needs to be treated with anti allergic and expectorant bronchodilators or antitussives medicine which should be given only after a proper evaluation by the doctor according to the type of cough.hfc if fever is there paracetamol can be given to reduce the fever and the dose can be repeated after 6 hours again if required .

A. Nasal saline drops can be given again and again to the child because it is salt water which will help in decreasing the nasal blockage by clearing the mucus Try to prevent temperature variations around the child which is the most common cause of cough and cold in small children.can give indirect steam inhalation . Anti-cold medicines at this age have got side effects so can be given only after medical consultation. For fever and dpain give paracetamol Continue the regular diet which is being given to the child
