Yes it can be given. Usually child has blocked nose that causes discomfort. So use saline nasal spray to relieve the obstruction

Severe cold means if baby has running nose and noisy breathing then you can use nasivion drops for 3 days and then you can continue with nasoclear drops.
Syrup zyrtec can be given in a dose of 2.5ml one time.
