Pediatrician,  's  Response
Fever and respiratory infections, commonly due to viral causes, is pretty common in children of this age. Some children are more prone to such infection. Although giving saffron milk will not be harmful for your child, it would not be beneficial either. These conditions generally have an allergic component associated. The treatment of such infections is with some antiallergic like levocetirizine. Paracetamol would help in reducing the temperature. Give steam inhalation to the child as it will help in diluting the cough.
