Cold cough will be common ,don't be in panic. Relax. You can give saline nasal drop SOS. Add vit cecon drops. If you have good bath room, put on hot water, open tap so that areal hot water with steam is produced. Carry your child on shoulder and let him breath .This is only way to give steam safely. Use our Indian spices to make concoction. Take about a cup of drinking water, add Piece of jaggary ,Whole black pepper, ginger a small piece and boil it to reduce water to half. cool it and feed it slowly
Next Steps
take care of strong wind breeze. temperature of room. no steroids .add vitamin
