Accepted Answer

no
give nasal saline drops every few hourly to the child in the nasal cavity.
try to prevent 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 andd pain give paracetamol.
anti-cold medicines at this age have got side effects so can be given only after medical consultation.

These two things are not associated with each other so please do not worry about it that if you’re giving formula still if you have a doubt about it you can crosscheck with your doctor but any kind of mail as far as I know has no connection with it
