Hi dear
welcome to the HCM,
The child has contracted Viral RTI. Which is quite in this rainy season.
Atihistaminc decongestant syrup with antipyretics like sinarest may be tried for the symptomatic relief. Additional paracetamol can be given if fever donot respond to this.
If cough increases one can consider nebulization and steam inhalation. Antibiotics also may be considered tried if your peadiatrician decides.
Hope the query is answered.
thanks
