Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Asthalin syrup is quite safe for children.
Steam inhalation is advised to loosen the mucous and get it out.
Crocin (paracetamol) is also safe for children. 15 mg/kg body weight can be given 4-6 times a day depending upon the requirement.
HMFD is a self limiting condition and no treatment is necessary.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose.
I shall be happy to answer any more queries.
Take care.
