A. This may due to either allergy or infection and some times due to climate changes and temperature variations . For cold you can give drops wikoryl AF 0.5 ml to the child 2-3 times per day. try to prevent temperature variations around the child and give nasal saline drops frequently for nasal blockage, simple cough and cold. Indirect steam is helpful. Home remedies like Tulsi Ginger diluted with water combination (honey can be added afterf 1 year age)and turmeric with milk at least 2 times per day. Give warmf water to drink If no improvement in 2 or 3 days then meet your doctor paracetamol for fever and pain. it is very common that during the disease process the child will have loss of appetite as well as after the disease the child will have decreased appetite for food and this will last for at least one week. you have to provide plenty of water to drink and you can give food rich in fluids as well as juice extracted from fruits which will help in improving the dappetite. if if the child is having nutritional deficiency the doctor will add multivitamin supplements to increase the appetite. d
