What should I do if the baby has a runny nose and coughs a few times?

Patient's question:

For the past 18 months, my little girl has been sneezing and clearing her nose. She occasionally coughs a few times during the day but doesn't cough at night. Tonight, while she was sleeping, she coughed a few times and her throat sounded like there was phlegm. What medicine should I give her to take? Is it okay to give her Children's Paracetamol and Antihistamine Granules?

Doctor's answer:

18-month-old girl baby has been having clear nasal discharge these past two days, occasional cough during the day, and phlegm in her throat. What medicine should she take?
Based on your description of the 18-month-old girl baby having clear nasal discharge these past two days, occasional cough during the day, and phlegm in her throat, it is likely a cold. She can take pediatric paracetamol and chlorpheniramine granules.
