A. the above answer is not applicable you should have a steamer in a room which is producing steam. you have to own it so that steam is generated and the room is filled with steam. you have to sit with the child at a distance in that room away from the steamer. the child takes(inhales) the steam from a distance and this will help in xdecreasing the nasal blockage as well as cough and cold and this phenomena is known as indirect steam inhalation

A. yes that can be done you can go for home remedies like Tulsi Ginger Honey (Add honey if child is more than 1 year of age) combination which can be diluted with water and given frequently to the child. also u can give turmeric with warm milk one or two times everyday. give warm water to drink as well as nasal saline drops frequently. try to prevent temperature variations around the child that is from hot to cold and cold to hot environment. Keep the child well covered. If the palms and soles of the child are cold then the child is feeling cold and you have to take preventive measures to make the child warm
