POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 months agoA. For a 6-year-10-month-old child with cold and cough, you can give age-appropriate over-the-counter medicines like paracetamol (e.g., Calpol) for fever and body ache, and a cough syrup like Ascoril LS or Ambroxol if prescribed by your pediatrician. Use saline nasal drops to relieve a blocked nose and ensure the child drinks plenty of warm fluids, like soup or warm water with honey and ginger (if there's no allergy). Avoid self-medicating with antibiotics unless advised by a doctor. If the cold persists for more than 5–7 days, or there is wheezing, breathing difficulty, or high fever, consult a pediatrician immediately.
