Hi,

As per your query, your child has symptoms of cold and cough which is due to an allergic reaction or due to viral respiratory tract infections.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you use mild vaporizers rub. Use room humidifiers as well to prevent an allergic reaction to the child. You should take an antihistamine such as Benadryl or Chlorpheniramine along with Amoxicillin. Avoid hot, sharp, spicy food. You should give cough expectorants to the child. I would advise you to consult pediatrician once and get it examined if symptoms keep on persisting. Start treatment after proper diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
