Hi, Thank you for asking question on Chat Doctor. Cold and cough with fever occurs due to viral infection and antibiotics are not necessary. Paracetamol (Cronin) is given in a dose of 15 mg/kg body weight along with tepid sponging 4-6 hourly depending on the severity of fever, and it brings down fever quickly. Steam inhalation along with local instillation of saline nasal Chat Doctor.
