Suggest Remedy For Severe Cough And Cold In A Child
Brief Answer:
Avoid some food items and increase immunity
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your question in detail and I know that you are very concerned about your child but don't worry about it.
If a child of 5 years gets cold off and on, then it means that the child has low immunity and is more prone to temperature changes than other children.
In my opinion, you should follow some precautions like
- avoid cold drinks
- avoid ice creams
- avoid fried foods from outside
- add few drops of lemon juice in every meal, it contains vitamin c and increases immunity of child.
- give a multivitamin syrup for 1 month.
- avoid food items which lead to increase in symptoms.
In my opinion, you should do complete blood count with esr levels in child, it will guide us about need for any medication that needs to be given.
I would also like to know that whether she has wheezing episodes and does it requires nebulisation.
I also want to the exact weight of child.
Revert back with above questions.
I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
Probably allergic rhinitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome once again to HCM.
Since, weight of child is appropriate for age and there is no need of nebulisation till now so chances of asthma are very rare.
There are more chances of allergic rhinitis due to which the child has frequent cough and cold episodes.
Let's wait till the results come, if it comes to be allergic then we have to give antiallergic medicine for some days.
Take care.
