Hi,

Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in children. For cold, you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do.

Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose (max ceiling dose 500mg) every 4-6th hourly, that too only if fever is more than 100F.

I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. For cold, you can use Cetirizine at 0.25mg/kg/dose every 12 hourly for 3 days.

For the nasal block, plain saline nasal drops will do, every 4-6th hourly to relive nasal congestion. NO NEED TO USE ANTIBIOTICS FOR SIMPLE COUGH AND COLD PLEASE.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology
