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
