A. Cold most of the time is a viral illness where there could be running nose sneezing along with cough and it needs supportive care along with proper hydration . steam inhalation will also be useful in this . cough needs to be treated with anti allergic and expectorant bronchodilators or antitussives medicine which should be used once a proper evaluation by the doctor is done and according to the type of cough its prescribed. if any fever is therhe paracetamol can be given to rfeduce the temperature and the dose can be repeated again after 6 hours if required .

A. good morning if it is not reducing by even giving calpol I would recommend you to try to visit your doctor for a proper clinical examination so that medicine can be given as prescribed by the doctor
