Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for putting your query up at HealthCareMagic. In many children there is a tendency to catch cold, especially if the tonsils or adenoids are enlarged. The tonsils regress with age and unless the episodes of cough and cold occur several times each year, no surgical intervention is required. During the episodes, some antiallergic medicine and gurgle with lukewarm water may provide relief. Any sort of food may be given. Vitamin C may be given from time to time.

I hope that helps. Feel free to revert back in case of further queries.
