Pediatrician,  's  Response
Most often cough and cold in children of this age is caused due to certain viral infections. They are generally associated with an allergic component which is responsible for the runny nose and it seems to be just a continuation of the previous infection. Giving some antiallergic like Cetirizine syrup is likely to be more helpful. Also give steam inhalation. Antibiotics would not be effective in such infections. Irrespective of use of antibiotics, it should take 7-10 days and you would have to be patient.
