[|Human|] HIMay baby is 10 months old and she is suffering with cold from last 1 week and we have given to asthakind. My baby born with 3.0 kg weight and she is about 7 kg weight now, we thought that her weight is low. Pl suggest the correct treatment for her.
[|AI|]  Child Chat Doctor.  Providing steam inhalation should help in diluting the cough. Antibiotics are not required. Some antiallergic like levocetirizine syrup may be given for a few days. Ideally the birth weight triples by 10-12 months of age. Although 7 kg is a bit low for a 3 kg birth weight child, I do not think that there is any need to panic. A single weight does not convey much information. You need to take weight at 3 months intervals and plot it on a growth chart. If the weight follows the normal pattern but is on the lower side, you need not be concerned. But in case it does not, follow-up nutrients might be required. How much supplementation needs to be done, depends on the situation, and you can be discussed only by your treating pediatrician. All you need to do from your side is to give semi solids in mashed form, roughly at 2 hourly intervals. Homemade semi solids made from boiling rice and pulses along with vegetables and giving it after mashing it, should be fine to help your child in gaining weight.
