Dear Mr XXXXXXX
Majority of respiratory infection in children are viral in origin and usually self limiting. All that is needed is symptomatic treatment of the symptoms.
I would suggest the following
1. Normal Saline Nasal Drops: 3-4 drops in each nose 4-6 times a day for 5-6 days
2. Oral T-Minic Drops 1.5 ml thrice daily can be used
3. Steam Inhalation: Preferably using electronic steamer, keep safe distance from baby. use it for 5 to 10 minutes
4. Decoction: To a cup of milk + 2 spoon sugar+ 20 Tulsi Leaves + 2 Black pepper + 1/2 spoon turneric. Bring it to boil. Filter it and feed the baby warm using spoon twice a day
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Take Care
