Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your baby is suffering from severe cough and cold which seems to be due to viral fever which is due to poor and compromised immunity of body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid intake of cold liquids. You should do warm saline gargles on daily basis and take steam inhalation as well. Visit pediatrician once if symptoms keeps on persisting and get blood tests and throat swab done and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Do tepid sponging as well. You should take antibiotic Ciprofloxacin and antihistamine Levocetirizine for 3-4 days. Give child oral rehydrating solution as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
