Hi, Thank you for asking question on health care magic. Cold and cough with fever occurs due to viral infection and antibiotics are not necessary. Paracetamol (Crocin) is given in a dose of 15 mg/kg body weight along with tepid sponging 4-6 hourly depending on the severity of fever and it brings down fever quickly. Steam inhalation along with local instillation of saline nasal drops will give relief from cough and cold Hope this answer will serve your purpose Please feel free to ask any more queries if required Take care Dr.M.V.Subrahmanyam MD;DCH Associate professor of pediatrics
