If your child has cold or flu symptoms
শিশু ও ছোট বাচ্চাদের ক্ষেত্রে সর্দি-কাশি ও ফ্লুর সংক্রমণ খুবই সাধারণ একটি ব্যাপার। ভালো খবর হলো, বেশির ভাগ ছোট্ট সোনামণিই কোনো বিশেষ চিকিৎসা ছাড়াই নিজে নিজেই পুরোপুরি সুস্থ হয়ে ওঠে। তবুও, শরীর যখন রোগটির সঙ্গে লড়াই করছে, সেই সময়ে আপনার সন্তান যাতে একটু আরাম বোধ করে, তার জন্য ঘরে বসেই আপনি অনেক কিছু করতে পারেন।
