Dear Patient,

You can buy 2-3 button down woolen sweater and make the child wear it over a cotton vest/onesie. The child should wear a layer more than you. So if you wear 3, he should wear 3. Cover his ears and head always when going out in wind. On particularly cold days you can make them wear socks but at bedtime leave either head or feet open. You can daily rub the child’s back, chest and soles of feet with slightly warm mustard oil/woodwards chest rub and cover it at bedtime and when going out.

Moreover, if you need further help, we recommend checking with a best child specialist in Lahore and seek a piece of in-person advice at https://oladoc.com/pakistan/lahore/child-specialist
