Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My 2-year-old baby is suffering from a cough and cold. What should I do?

Please help.

Answered by Dr. Arti Sharma

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Is the baby having a running nose or a blocked nose? If there is a blocked nose, I suggest you put Nasoclear nasal saline drops, two drops in each nostril, three times a day. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and with their consent, take the medicines. Keep a humidifier in the room. That will help in expelling the mucus. Give warm liquids like milk with turmeric, soups. If the symptoms increase, see a pediatrician.

I hope this helps.

Please feel free to reach out in case of further queries.

Thank you.
