Hi,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M.Forum.
Due to common cold your child is sick and he get infection.
2-3 years are (initial) somewhat difficult for a newborn.
After this children become acclimatized to surroundings .
Allergic bronchitis is a type of disease ,which infects most children.
So when you notice such type of infections as runny nose , sneezing , red eyes with itch, snot , don't worry and OTC antihistamine is sufficient.
If fever is there cold sponging is the best treatment.
Good luck.
