There is no specific treatment fora a cold or flu but there are some things you can do to make your child more comfortable.
1 use infant paracetamole or ibuprofen
2 only use over the counter remedies recommended by your pharmacist
3 encourage your child to drink more fluids

depends on the age of the child
if just enter into pre-school/childcare, it is expected... those illness are like a series of "vaccinations" to strengthen the immune system, about 1 year to 1.5 years the frequency will reduce.

get updated flu vaccine for kid and adults (to break possible cycle)
covid vaccine - up to you
mask up
hand sanitiser
cultivate hygienic habits
feed vitamin c gummy/ cod liver oil to help strengthen immune system

GP recommended exercise more for kid, eg. swimming.

I believe it's crucial for a child to sleep well.

Hi Jia hui, your nanny sounds well experienced! Can I ask if she is a confinement nanny? Do yoiu mind sharing more? My wife and I are thinking of hiring a nanny to help us out with our upcoming baby. Would be of great help to us

If you are considering a second opinion for your child's health issues esp for persistent cough and phlegm try Herbal One Clinic. Their pediatric services, including the rhinitis nose spa treatment and tuina, have been effective for my child. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and the environment is child-friendly for 6 month old bb too.
