Thanks for the query.
Please tell me whether there is fever or not?
For cold continue syrup t-minic and also nasoclear nasal drops can be used if there is nose block.
For cough you can give syp. ventorlin or levolin (dose depends on weight).
Swine flu vaccination will not cause this type of symptoms.
