My son is 1.7 years old and he is suffering from cold and cough. Medicine are given properly. But I just wanted to know whether we can make him wear socks and cap while sleeping. As I heard that while sleeping if we wear socks and cap it leads to brain damage. Pls suggest whether it is true. If it is true then how can I keep him warm.
