Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM.
Self medication can be dangerous. Please avoid.
Omnacortil is a steroid. only to be used when advised by your pediatrician.
Antihistaminic and decongestant medicine to be added.
Any Semisolid food to be added like dal, rice which can be easily cooked and easily available.And also the baby likes.
Hope the query is answered.
Thanks
