Hi,
Usually these are viral and will settle in 3-4 days. If baby is otherwise active and playful, we need not worry. Just continue Crocin for 2-3 days. If no improvement by then or if he develops severe cough or breathing difficulty, take him to doctor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
