Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. I understand your concern...coming to your queries one by one -

1. Nothing need to be done as the size is less than 1 cm- which means they ar insignificant and will not require even evaluation.

2. These persist even with a small cough and cold.

3. I suggest you not to worry s he is growing normally.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
