Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. give nasal saline drops every few hourly to the child in the nasal cavity.
try to prevent temperature variations around the child
you can go for indirect steam inhalation which will again help in decreasing both cough and cold
continue the regular diet of the child
if there is no improdvement in few days then meet your doctor
for fever and pain give paracetamol.
anti-cold medicines at this age have got side effects so can be given only after medical consultation.

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. Age 6 months to 1 year: Give warm clear fluids to treat the cough. Examples are apple juice and lemonade. Amount: Use a dose of 1-2 teaspoons (5-10 mL). Give 4 times per day when coughing.Use a cool-mist humidifier in the nursery - it's safe for babies - and change the water daily to keep bacteria at bay. You can also turn your bathroom into a steam room. Run a hot shower until the air is steamy and sit with your baby for 10 to 15 minutes - breathing in the warm moist air can help clear nasal pathways.Set up items such as pillows and towels before you get started. ...Position your child. ...Clap (percuss) your child's chest or back with your cupped hand. ...Use the right amount of force and a steady beat when clapping. ...Apply vibrations. ...Have your child huff and cough.
