This is usually due to viral infection. Give just steam inhalations3-4 times a day,and paracetamol for fever,repeat 4 hourly if required. Should settle down in 3-5 days.If not improving,or accompanied by other symptoms like vomiting or loose motions or breathlessness,consult your paediatrician asap.
