Hi sir, my baby boy is 10months old, and he has cold, and mild cough, (very mild fever-on and off). He is active through out the day, but he gets runny nose and cough in the night times. What shall we do? We are using sinarest pediatric syrup, three times daily. We are giving paracetamol syrop for if high temperature, as advised by local hospital physician.Can I know, whether we can continue with sinarest syrup and paracetamol syrup or I should meet doctor immediately.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your infant have cold and mild cough which is due to viral pharyngitis or upper respiratory tract infection. Need not to worry it could be mainly due to increased susceptibility of your body to get infected due to poor immunity. Sinarest and Paracetamol is definitely a safe combination to give to child, it can make child bit drowsy as well. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles or betadine gargles 2-3 times a day and start vitamin C tablet for 10 days. You should give combination of Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen. You should give steam inhalation along with vaporizer. Keep sipping warm water. Drink hot milk along with pinch of turmeric. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined if symptoms keeps on persisting. Start treatment once proper diagnosis is ruled out.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
