A child of this age,till 8 years of age,WILL fall sick 6-7 times a day,throat,nose and stomach being the commonest sites of infection. Instead of giving medication everytime,give just steam inhalations for cold and cough and decongestant nasal drops for nasal block or increased cough on lying down. For loose motions,give ors after every loose motion if watery and add curds and Banana in the diet. Maintain hygiene in feeds,stop bottle feeding,if using it.
