• put some drops of eucalyptus oil on his vest and shirt-collar. the inhalation of its vapours will help in nose congestion
• take some ghee and add just a bit of vicks in it. make the baby lie on the bed. lit a candle a little away from the baby's reach. take some ghee+vicks in your palm, warm it over flame and massage his chest. do it repeatedly for few times. make sure to see its not burning his skin.
• take some ajwain and crush some pure camphor in it. lit it in a room where your kid is there. when the flame dies, take the residues in a hankerchief and tie it like a potli. use it for chest compression while its still warm.
• you have to basically treat the chest congestion thats not going out. if it persists, do show him to a doc.

banana as per doc's say there is no correlation between banana n cough but it do makes the cold aggressive .. especially the yellow one.I wud advice u give her lots of fruit juices, warm soups (with a little pepper in it ) . If she has started semi solid food u can give her mashed Rasam rice . n ragi malt is cooling so don't give her ragi malt .
