Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy2 years agoA. diet of the mother does not cause any problem to the child.
also the gas in abdomen of the child is not due to diet taken by the mother.
mother can take all types of home made food which is good for her own health.
it is advisable to take all types of food made from cereals pulses vegetables and fruits and milk by the mother.
This can occurs due to weather changes and temperature variations or simple cold and rarely infection.
kindly give nasal saline drops (nasoclear /nasivion s)every three hourly and since it is a salt water/saline water it does not have any side effects and can be given again and again for nasal blockage and respiratory cough.
It will dissolve mucus in nose and throat.
For fever and pain give paracetamol.
Anti-cold medicines at this age have got side effects so can be given only after medical consultation.
Try to prevent temperature variations around the child and you can also give indirect steam inhalation and if there is no improvementd in 2 or 3 days then meet your doctor
