Brief Answer:
It is common cold

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Baby seems to have common cold which is viral in nature. This will get better by itself in few days. We can give my symptom relief as below

- Syrup Crocin 0.8 ml (16 drops) every 6-8 hours for fever
- Syrup cetirizine 2-4 drops 1-2 times a day for runny nose.
Since this is symptomatic treatment, the medicine dose can be missed if symptom is not present.

This will help clear the infection and take care of symptoms.

Let me know if you have further doubts.
