#AskTheExpert hi Dr, my son is 3yr old he was having runny nose now it's in control but now he has stuffed nose and it's not coming out. i used nasal spray but it's not working. what should I do. also I gave him antiallergic medicine for 5days as given by family dr.

A. Cold is most of the time because of viral illness and if the child is having recurrent running nose and nasal congestion it may be a part of allergic rhinitis also so it needs a proper examination. steam inhalation will be beneficial in both the cases along with decongestant medicine like alex cold/ hatric 3/ sinarest. As a part of viral illness there could be associated symptoms like cough and kkifever which needs treatment accordingly along with a proper hydration needs to be maintained .
