Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your infant have symptoms of cold and cough which is due to poor immunity of child and repeated respiratory tract infections.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take combination of antihistamine and antibiotic drugs. Use vaporizers rub. I would advise you to visit pediatrician once and get your sinus x ray done and then start treatment as per that. Avoid hot, sharp, spicy food and give child steam inhalation. Give child proper rest. You should give cough expectorants to child. You should take antihistamine such as Benadryl or Chlorpheniramine along with Amoxicillin.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
