It’s WALRI weather associated LRI hence medication is of limited value and more of precautions are needed. Don’t allow the baby to be under direct fan or AC Try to rub decongest medication to nose and chest and back. Try to give warm liquids and soup
Next Steps
If mucus turns green and fever appears once again contact paediatric consultation
