Question
My baby is 2 years and 5 months old. He came down with a cold this morning, with clear nose discharge and a bit of coughing. The sound of his cough got worse by evening. Is it okay for him to take the doctor-prescribed antiviral granules?
Answer
Yes, you can also give him some pediatric paracetamol and chlorpheniramine granules, and pay close attention to any changes in his body temperature. It’s recommended to keep an eye on the amount of clothing he wears, and ensure his diet is light and easy to digest. Avoid crowded places, and encourage him to drink plenty of warm water. These are the feasibility suggestions for your child’s cold and cough. I hope this helps, and wish you all the best in your health!
