A. Give nasal saline drops every few hourly to the child in the nasal cavity. Try to pvrevent 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 improvement in few days then meet your doctor For fever and pain give paracetamol
