Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Flucold syrup 2-3 times daily along with local instillation of saline nasal drops will give him better relief.
You may give zinc preparation 20 mg daily to prevent frequent colds.
Keep him warm and avoid exposure to cold atmosphere.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
