A. This may due to either allergy or infection and some times due to climate changes and temperature variations . For cold you can give syp allegra 2.5 ml twice daily to the child. try to prevent temperature variations around the child and give nasal saline drops frequently for nasal blockage, simple cough and cold. Indirect steam is helpful. Home remedies like Tulsi Ginger diluted with water combination (honey can be addedf after 1 year age)and turmeric with milk at least 2 times per day. Give warm water to drink If no improvementd in 2 or 3 days then meet your doctor paracetamol for fever and pain.

A. If antibiotics are required then your doctor is going to advise you we do not suggest you to give any antibiotic to the child from your own side because antibiotics have given without any reason as such and also have side-effect on your child
