Hi..

If there is severe cough and cold then curds can be given only if there are sweet in nature and not sour at all..
If the curd gets sour then do not give them..

First of all you should give them more of warm fluids and warm water as it will help in reducing congestion and other symptoms..

Many a times warming the curd makes it more sore so do not give in that way..

Along with it giving steam inhalations and also a combination of decongestant and mucolytics and antihistamine after consulting a Paediatrician should be done..

Avoid any cold and spicy and sour foods..

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
