A. For a 1 year and 5-month-old suffering from cough and cold, here are some suggestions to help alleviate symptoms: Home Remedies 1. Steam Inhalation Sit with your child in a steamy bathroom or use a steam vaporizer to help loosen mucus. 2. Saline Drops Use saline nasal drops to clear nasal congestion. You can use a nasal aspirator if needed. 3. Honey (if over 1 year old) Give ½ teaspoon of honey to soothe a sore throat and reduce coughing. 4. Fluids Keep your child hydrated with warm water, soup, or lukewarm milk. 5. Elevate the Head Place a pillow under the mattress to elevate your child's head slightly while sleeping to improve breathing. Diet Offer easily digestible and warm foods such as dal water, rice porridge, or vegetable soup. Avoid cold or refrigerated items like juices and curd. Medical Care For a fever or severe symptoms, you can give paracetamol (dosage as per your doctor’s advice). If the cough and cold persist for more than 5-7 days or worsen, consult a pediatrician to check for any underlying issues like a chest infection or allergies. When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention If your child has difficulty breathing, wheezing, high fever, or persistent coughing. Signs of dehydration such as fewer wet diapers, dry lips, or lethargy. Would you like help with medication recommendations or any other concerns?
