Give Paracetamol whenever fever occurs. If weight is around 12 kg, then dose of Paracetamol will be around 7 ml (for regular solution of 120 mg/5ml)
For cold, you can give Syrup T-minic 3 ml 8-hourly for 3-4 days
Monitor temperature at home. It is expected to stay for a couple of days more and then subside gradually
Keep watch for symptoms like cough and breathing difficulties
