For infants with cough and runny nose, it is important to maintain a light diet. They may consume protein-rich foods such as eggs or milk, and drink moderate amounts of warm water to aid recovery. If symptoms do not improve, consult a pediatrician at a hospital. For cold-related symptoms, medications such as Pediatric Paracetamol, Artificial Cow-bezoar and Chlorphenamine Maleate Granules may be administered under a physician’s guidance. Cough-relieving medications—such as Pediatric Cough Syrup—may also be used concurrently as directed.
