For a 7-year-old child with a common cold and cough due to seasonal changes, it is best to use medicines specifically formulated for children and only as recommended by a doctor. Saline nasal drops can help relieve nasal congestion safely. A pediatric cough syrup containing natural ingredients like honey, tulsi, or ginger is often safe for mild symptoms, but it’s essential to check age-appropriate dosage. Antihistamines like cetirizine may be prescribed if allergies are involved. Avoid over-the-counter cold medicines that contain multiple active ingredients, as they can have side effects. Ensure the child stays hydrated, gets plenty of rest, and consumes warm fluids like soup or honey with warm water (if not allergic). Always consult a pediatrician before giving any medication to ensure safety and proper treatment.
