Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. honey can be given only after completion of one year of the child. occasionally, honey contains bacteria that can produce toxins in a baby's intestines, leading to infant botulism, which is a very serious illness.
after 1 year there is no problem in giving it to the child
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 colxd
continue the regular diet of the child
if there is no improvement in few days then meet your doctor
for fever aznd pain give paracetamol.
anti-cold medicines at this age have got side effects so can be given only after medical consultation.
