How To Cure Cold In Toddlers?

Hi, My kid is 13 months old. He is suffering cold for past 2 days with severe nose blockage. My doctor suggested to give chericof 2.5ml thrice a day for 5 days. I found that content added in chericof is banned in many countries due to serious side effect it has. Is it safe to continue?

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Personally, I will not recommend that you administer an anti-tussive to a toddler. Cold in toddlers is managed by controlling the symptoms and regular nasal lavage to unblock the nostrils with normal saline. Tylenol would relief fever. Also, increase water intake and a long as the baby can eat and play well, the body would fight its way out of this infection. Talk to the doctor and consider stopping this drug.

I hope this helps. I wish you well.
