TAKE A FEW DROPS OF COCONUT OIL IN A SPOON(2ML) ADD SOME CAMPHOR TO OIL AND HEAT THE SAME LIGHTLY.WHEN IT COLL AND WHEN WARM APPLY THE SAME TO NOSE OF CHILD .EVERY TWO HOURS U CAN APPLY THIS TO CHILDS NOSE FOR COLD. TAKE TWO OR THREE PIECES OF BLACK PEPPER AND GRIND IT TO POWDER. MIX SUFFICIENT SUGAR POWDER AND GIVE TO CHILD WITH MILK .ONLY TWICE IN A DAY U SHOULD GIVE LIKE THIS TO CHILD. HOPE BABY WILL GET WELL WITHIN TWO DAYS. RAMABHADRAIAH. icepoint2002@yahoo.com

If your son is only six months old, you really shouldn't be giving him all those medications without speaking to his pediatrician first. Most medications, even those marked for infants, aren't appropriate for children that young. If you want to help him breathe more easily, you should try a room humidifier. If you can, you should also try to increase the temperature of the rooms he is in.
