What Can I Do For Cold And Sweating To 15 Week Year Old?
my 15 week old baby has had a cold for 2 weeks. It went for a couple days & came back so I took her to the doctor again! & this time she said her throat was inflamed she put her on antibiotics but now the the stuffy blocked nose has returned & she is also sweating a lot. What can I do?

Hi....Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in children. For cold you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do.
I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol.
For cold you can use Cetrizine at 0.25mg/kg/dose every 12 hourly for 3 days.
For nasal block, plain saline nasal drops will do, every 4-6th hourly to relive nasal congestion.
