Hi,
Welcome to HCM
Freshly set Curd can be give during cough,cold and fever..there are certain myths regarding food in our society but as a medical practioner we don't avoid any food stuff during cough.prefer food at room temprature and avoid refrigerated cold food and drinks.also prevent your child from cold and consult pediatrician.
Wish u a good health.

Hi
welcome toHCM
read your prob, you son has been suffring from cough n throat pain without fever, may be this is due to URI ,EIGHTER TOSILLITIS OR PHYRINGITIS.
so you have to consult with your doc, reach to proper diagnosis n start treatment.as in children dose depends on their weight.
there in no prob in taking bath
