Comfort care: The available cough/cold preparations actually have little if any benefit to kids under 6 yrs. The do give you something to do & some thicken secretions making things worse. Low grade fever is part of natural healing & can be ignored or treated as you wish. Milk is fine to use. The main treatment is based on maintaining good nutrition & fluid balance.

Cool air mist/saline: Keep nasal passages clear to avoid post nasal drip and to provide better airflow and comfort. You may continue milk and also water for hydration.
