How can I treat my 7-year-old's cold effectively?

My son is 7years old. He has a very bad cold , runny nose and little cough. What medicine can heal him quickly without making him drowsy.

Answered on 22nd Aug '24

Your son has the usual cold. The runny nose and cough are caused by a virus. You could provide him with a child's medication that has acetaminophen, which is good for coughing and fever, as for his age. Ensure that he doesn't miss out on fluids and rest. It is advisable not to use over-the-counter cold medicines for children.

Whe­n baby formula poops look muddy, it might signal constipation. This happens when poop stays too long in the inte­stines. Not enough water or conce­ntrated formula could be the cause­. Try giving water betwee­n feedings or ask the doctor about adjusting the­ formula. This should help the baby poop comfortably!
