A. Cold is a viral disease that usually occurs with general symptoms,mainly nasal congestion .at times it can be allergic too. steam inhalation would help in relieving congestion n soothing the irritation in nose and throat .you can give febrex AF/maxtra in a proper dose for 3-5 days as per the symptoms but only under medical guidance.for fever can give calpol 3 times a day .no self treatment should be done.it may take upto two weeks also in recovery so dont worry if gradually symptoms are getting relieved,child will resume normal activities and eating thereafter.can give simple homemade food that's easily digestible can give banana too and avoid citrus fruits if reqttuuired. You should keep the room temperature comfortable for the baby and do not expose the baby to direct air of AC if used.

A. Cold is a viral illness and symptoms could be sneezing, running nose, cough sore throat, nasal congestion and fever. Treatment consists of antihistamines antipyretics analgesics and decongestants . steam inhalation would be beneficial . Medicines like sinarest/wikoryl / Alex cold can be given in a proper dose according to the weight for 3-5 days as per the symptoms . Baby immunity and growth can be taken care of by giving a proper diet with all the nutrition required for proper growth of the chilhcd . vitamin C, zinc, iron and vitamin D has key role in this. Multivitamin syrup like syp full 365 can be given 5 ml twice a day for 1 to 2 months.
