Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

You could try the following which will definitely help
1. Warm saline gargling : To a glass of lukewarm water add two spoon of common table salt. Gargle throat with it thrice a day.
2. Steam inhalation : 15 to 20 minutes each session twice a day.
3. Decoction : to a cup of milk + 10 Tulsi leaves + 2 gms of fresh ginger + 2 black pepper + 1 spoon of turmeric + 2 spoon of sugar. Bring it to boil. Filter it and serve the child warm.

In case you require any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
