**1.  As common cold is caused by common viruses [ commonest being Rhinovirus] thus has no specific treatment.  [It runs its course and resolves spontaneously] medicines are provided only to control symptoms.2.  If at any point of time, baby feels uncomfortable or develops high grade fever  consult a pediatrician and get evaluated and treated properly.3. Since getting repeated attacks of cold, thus are usually allergic and/or with decreased Immunity, thus prevention of recurrent attacks is the main aim of treatment..  give high protein diet [milk with protein powder], give soup [if permissible], which help thin mucus, and promote nasal drainage..  do not give caffeine containing beverages, as they lead to dehydration and resulting nasal blockage. mix old ghee in saindhav namak [rock salt] and massage with warm hands on baby chest and back.. add a pinch of  white pepper in one tea spoon of pure honey. . prepare tea with aniseed and tulsi and give it to drink [ drop wise]4.  you can ask for prescription medicine like: syp/tab bresol [himalaya], tab/syp haleezy [charak], [according to age]
