Hi
If I were your family doctor I would not recommend Sinarest and Cepodem type of medicine at first instance to such a small child when other measures such as steaming , either plain or of herbal decoctions are very safe and easy to give and natural ones. These have better and SAFE effects and no side effects. You may like to see any good ayurveda physician in your locality for this.
You can always opt for such medicine if natural ways do not cure your child. One thing is sure that steaming will not enhance the cough and cold.
Hope this guides you well.
