Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of cold and coughwhich is due to infection of upper respiratory tract and it could be due to poor immunity of child. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to give child antihistamine such as benadryl along with Amoxicilin. Avoid hot, sharp, spicy food. Give cough expectorants to child. I would advise you to visit pediatrician once and get it examined if symptoms keeps on persisting. Start treatment after proper diagnosis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Harry Maheshwari
