No need of any medication if mild illness
If baby have cold then need steam inhalation, nasal decongestant drops (nasivion baby nasal drops/Otrivin-P nasal drops 1drop in each nostril 3-4 times a day for 3 days).
Keep ur baby well hydrated in cough cold fever episode
Maintain hygiene, hand wash properly,
Keep ur baby away from other infected persons if possible , continue to give all food items as before, continue breast feed as well till 1.5 yrs of age,
It will help for fast recovery.
If decreased oral intake, decreased urine output, breathing difficulty, high fever
Then need to consult with ur nearest pediatrician.
