No,a single overdose will cause no harm to the child,but be careful with medication.
If mild,just give steam inhalations for cold and cough and decongestant nasal drops for nasal block or increased cough on lying down.
Use paracetamol for fever if required.
If accompanied by wheezing or breathlessness or dullness and refusal to feed,consult your paediatrician.
