How to get rid of cough and cold in your school age child?

Hello mommies,

Last Monday afternoon while my family is at our family room watching TV I suddenly hear my daughter sniff and I noticed she had a cold.  She is also warm to touch.  I immediately change her clothes and gave her paracetamol syrup tempra.  After  few minutes I was relieved that her fever is gone.  Then at night the temperature rise again.  I placed cool fever in her forehead, gave her paracetamol syrup and gave her a sponge bath.  It's been on and off fever with cold.  I am hoping it is just viral.  I've heard that almost all kids here in our block got the same too.  I am tensed because knowing my daughter, she easily got pneumonia, we are closely monitoring her food and milk intake especially fluids.  I also gave her Vitamin C so whatever it is in her body it will go away. This morning I told myself if the cough will not subside I will take her to the Pediatrician but the cough was minimized and the sneezing was just occasional.  I hope this will pass.  Now, she just have itchy throat. By the way, last night she can't hardly breathe due to clogged nose. I nebulized her with just saline, so the mist can enter her nostrils.  I also sprayed her nose with saline spray.  And she sleep soundly.  I am always praying to God to gave her good health and that she will grow up healthy.  She is just so fragile.

What about you moms?
