Hi
Welcome to the HCM
In my opinion your child is suffering from an upper respiratory tract infection which seems more due to viral infection.
You may give him Maxtra drops 0.5 ml thrice daily.
If develops fever, start Syp. Paracetamol at 5 ml as and when required but with a 6 hours gap between 2 doses.
For symptomatic relief, keep the child well hydrated with regular feeds and use a room humidifier.
For further questions, do contact us.
