A. 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 improvementv 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.

A. Nasal drops are only going to help in opening up the nasal passage but if you see that your child is having running nose for the medicine is going to be different apart from that if the child is still not feeling better with whatever medication or steam you give then you can also give nebulisation and indirect steam inhalation to your child
