A. hi please don't self medicate your child. always consult your pediatrician before giving any type of medicines to your child. for cold and cough: take a clean cotton clothe,grate an onion on it ,make a pouch of it,then heat the tava ,place the pouch for few minutes and check with the hand that it should not be too hot ,then gently pat it on your child's chest back and sole. or make a kadha with warm water,Tulsi leaves , turmeric powder ,salt and ginger ,give 2 tbsp quantity twice in day. keep your child well hydrated. provide apt sunlight atleast 20 minutes a day. apply baby rub on your child's chest back. maintain good hygiene.
