Hi,
Thanks and welcome to HCM .
You give paracetamol 15 mg/ kg body weight every 4-6 hourly as per requirement in addition to the cold medicine.
You may give steam inhalation 2-3 times daily for immediate relief.
your child will be free from symptoms within a week.
Otherwise you may have to add antibiotic with the advice of your doctor.
Hope this reply is OK for you.
Await further queries.
