For decongestion, using a steam treatment can be very effective – run a warm shower and let your child breathe in the steam, or use a cool-mist humidifier in their room to keep the air moist.

Keep them well-hydrated with warm liquids like soup or herbal teas, and make sure they’re resting comfortably in a cozy environment.
