Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Probably he is suffering from viral infection (cold).
Calpol is given in a dose of 15 mg/kg body weight every 4-6 hourly depending on the necessity.
Cetrizine syrup may relieve cold symptoms.
Steam inhalation and saline nasal drops locally may help.
Avoid cool drinks and ice creams.
Keep in warm atmosphere.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
