Brief Answer:
Upper respiratory tract infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Can understand your concerns.

Cough formation and cold can occur in upper respiratory tract infection.

Steam inhalation should be continued.

In my opinion, you should give a cough syrup like chericof or cheston cs 5 ml three times a day for 3 days. If there is no improvement in 24 hours then get child examined by a doctor.

Antibiotic cannot be prescribed without examination so if symptoms persists after 24 hours then an examination by doctor is necessary.

I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.

Sure
