Hi,
Hi,
Recurrent cold in a child indicates all.ergic in origin. At present he also has slight fever &cough too.. - Recurrent health problems definitely need concern in babies ..as such health problems can affect ntrition & their physucal & intelectual development. - He should take rest/drink warm water. Hot saline gargles /vapor inhalation would help recovery. - Fever &stomoch ache can be due to stress of coughing.OR secondary bacterial infection . - Baby certainly needs medical attention.consult a child specialist . He would prescribe needful antubiotic with anti allergic medicine &cough syrup.He would also suggest tretment to prevent recurrent runny nose. Thanks.
