My 6 month old daughter is suffering from cold and cough since 3 days. Today her voice has also changed. We are giving steam and nasoclear drops at night but there's no relief. Kindly guide what can best treat her quickly.

Keep your child as calm and comfortable as possible and offer plenty of fluids. Give acetaminophen or ibuprofen for fever. Ibuprophen should only be given if your child is drinking reasonably well. Clear nasal congestion with a bulb syringe and saline (saltwater) nose drops.� take your child outside for a few minutes if it is a cold day. �breathing in the cool air may ease symptoms. �see your doctor if symptoms continue or worsen. Your doctor might prescribe a corticosteroid (a medicine that helps to open the lungs) to help relieve the symptoms.
