Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have fever, cold and cough in a child which is due to upper respiratory tract infection. I would suggest you to consult pediatrician for proper examination as infection has already spread. You should start with antibiotic such as augmentin along with decongestants and anti inflammatory such as Levocetrizine . You should get throat swab test , viral culture test , complete blood profile to find out extent of infection. For now do warm saline gargles. Take steam inhalation. Take proper rest , keep yourself hydrate. Maintain hygiene. Take diet rich in multivitamins. Avoid hot, sharp , spicy food substances and carbonated beverages. Take multivitamins rich in vitamin B12 to booster immunity of child.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
