Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in child Chat Doctor.  For cold, you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15\u00a0mg/kg/dose every 4-6th hourly, that too only if fever is more than 100F.

For nasal block, plain saline nasal
