A. simple cold you can treat otc drugs in a child of 1 year above but if the child is as well having cough do not give medicines they have to be given depending on the per kg body weight and type of cough weather dry cough or productive for this you have to see your doctor

A. If there is heavy running nose or cold and she seems cranky and intolerable then please take the child to the doctor. Self medication is not advisablr. Or if it is mild and just started you can try this home remedy. Heat coconut oil and add little bit of powdered camphor (pure one without chemicals). Once the mixture is lukewarm apply on the baby's chest, back, neck, nose and feet gently. Also make sure you add only little amount of camphor as it can cause skin irritation.
