Suggest Medications For Cold In Children

I have a 15 years son he lately is in his school swimming team and very proud of that but unfortunately their practice is at 5 o'clock early morning in outdoor pool and he has to leave to school directly from there. Now he has a cold from two days ago what can I do let him go

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Early morning swimming can cause infection in nose, throat resulting in cold.
So better to avoid swimming for 1 week.
Tell him to do it warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day.
Give levocetrizine and paracetamol twice a daily after some food.
Telling him to drink plenty of fluids orally, avoid oily and spicy food.
He will mostly improve with all these in 1 week.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
