Cold and cough since 1&1/2 month
My daughter is having cold and cough since 1&1/2 month. Gave her montair syrup for many days but no improvement & recently she caught HFMD still she has blocked nose and coughing. Due to that she has interrupted sleep. She keeps catching cold frequently. Kindly note. We moved to Bangalore since May. She's going to school since July. She had an episode of febrile seizures earlier. I give her warm water and avoid cold and oily food still she has that. Also I give her steam inhalation. Keep her warm clothing. All possible ways I do but no improvement. Can you please guide me where am I wrong and how can I improve her immunity? Any tips and suggestions would be great. As many judge me for not letting her eat junk and keeping her safe. They say I should let her free and open to air, dust and all. I am really stressed about this which is effecting my health. I delivered her at 35 ad it was late pregnancy. Is that possible to have any problem? Kindly guide me and do the needful. Thank you.

Hello! Don't worry first understand the root cause for frequent cough and cold in your kid.
Basically most of the cough and cold are due to cold weather exposure or any cold and chilled food items. Second thing is kids are often keep their hands here and there and keep their fingers in their mouths. Viral infections are the main reason to get a cough and a cold in kids.
