ExpertDr. Pandurang sawantPaediatrician7 years agoA. Use all medication as per ur pediatricians advice Most of the time cough cold, fever are viral in origin, it may subside by 3 -9 days. No need of any medication if mild. If fever above 100F then need fever medication (paracetmol) as per weight. If cold then need steam inhalation, nasal decongestant drops (nasivion baby nasal drops/Otrivin-P nasal drops 1drop in each nostril 3 times a day for 3 days). If cough then need cough syrup or drops as per babys cough condition (wet or dry). Keep ur baby well hydrated in cough cold fever episode Maintain hygiene, hand wash properly, Keep ur baby away from other infected persons, continue to give all food items as before If decreased oral intake, decreased urine output, breathing difficulty, Then need consultation with nearest pediatrician.

A. Hi! Cough and cold in children mostly due to viral infection. Lorfast am contain expectorant and mucolytic agent which is usually required for wet cough. Give plenty of fluids orally. Apply nasal saline drops to avoid nose block. You can give decongestant drops like maxtra for few days. Consult your Pediatrician if symptoms persist. Usually viral infections improve in 5 to 7 days average. thanks.
