Suggest Me Medicine For Cold And Cough For 17 Weeks Old?
my son is 17 weeks old and is a bit congested. He's tempreture is around 35.3. He had a cold, sneezing and a lttle cough two weeks ago. A lot of friends and family have been hit with it lately and most likely he picked it up. I myself haven't been sick and are breastfeeding. Now he has a bit of wheezing and a bit of a blocked nose. Body temp 35.3. I've given him some baby paracetamol and he is sleeping now. Should I be worried? Thanks Melissa.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Flucold drops 2-3 times daily will relieve congestion.
Saline nasal drops locally will make the baby comfortable.
Steam inhalation ,if possible will do good.
Keep the baby in warm atmosphere and avoid cool surroundings.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
