A. This may due to either allergy or infection and some times due to climate changes and temperature variations . For cold you can give syp allegra 2.5 ml twice daily to the child. try to prevent temperature variations around the child and give nasal saline drops frequently for nasal blockage, simple cough and cold. Indirect steam is helpful. Home remedies like Tulsi Ginger diluted with water combination (honey can be added after 1 year age)and turmeric with milk at least 2 times per day. Give warm wxxater to drink If no improvement in 2 or 3 days then meet your doctor paracetamol for fever and pain.

A. Hello dear parent! Below 6 months you can start using nasoclear saline nasal drops to reduce the discomfort. Beyond 6 months keep Babyhug baby rub roll on handy. Try giving indirect steam inhalation. Consult your doctor for further assistance
