Hi dear welcome to the Chat Doctor, The child has contracted Viral RTI. Which is quite in this rainy season. Atihistaminc decongestant syrup with antipyretic like minaret may be tried for the symptomatic relief. Additional paracetamol can be given if fever donor respond to this. If cough increases one can consider nebulization and steam inhalation. Antibiotics also may be considered tried if your pediatrician decides. Hope the query is answered. Thanks
