Pediatrician,  's  Response
Cough and cold are common in children of this age. It is basically a viral infection though generally it is associated with an allergic reaction. Some children are more prone to catch cold. However, the propensity gradually comes down with age.

Give the child steam inhalation as an alternative to nebulisation. Also give some antiallergic like levocetirizine. Give yogurt or curd.
