Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years agoA. Cough along with Cold most of the time is a viral illness and it needs supportive care along with proper hydration. you can give steam inhalation which is very useful .
cough needs to be treated with anti allergic and expectorant bronchodilators or antitussives medicine which should be given only after a proper evaluation bykj the doctor according to the type of cough.
if fever is there paracetamol can be given to reduce the fever and the dose can be repeated after 6 hours again if required .

Ankita MehtaMom of a 9 yr 1 m old girl3 years agoA. hi
no
please don't give any medicine by own
because it is not necessary that a child is having same infection ,it could be different too
so please visit your pediatrician and give Medicines as per his presentation only
I would suggest to rub onion slices on chest and back of your child which can help to cure cold , cough and fever too
keep your child well hydrated
dress your child lightly
give sunbath for 20 minutes a day
