if any fever is there paracetamol can be given to reduce the tegdmperature and the dose can be repeated again after 6 hours if required .
POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy2 years agoA. Nasal congestion and a runny nose are the main signs of a cold. Babies are especially likely to get the common cold, in part because they're often around older children. Also, they have not yet developed immunity to many common infections. Within the first year of life, most babies have six to eight colds.
