Patient: MY 5+ Month child is having cold and cough. My Ped told that the chest and lungs are clear and no medication required. But my child has discomfort sleeping as his nose makes a grrr sound all the time. Also he has cough and my ped said no medicine for cough till 2 years. But we cant see the baby suffering. pls suggest a remedy Doctor: Thanks for posting your query at HealthCareMagic. Your child probably has a condition called bronchiolitis which is the version of common cold in children. It is caused by a virus. Some antiallergics may be given but that is optional. Put some saline drops in both the nostrils. It would be best if you could give him some nebulisation or steam inhalation.Hope that helps. Feel free to contact back in case of further queries.
