A. For a 1-year, 6-month-old child with a runny nose, it’s best to focus on gentle, supportive care rather than strong medications. Here are a few safe ways to help relieve his symptoms: 1. Saline Nasal Drops: These help clear nasal congestion. A few drops in each nostril can thin the mucus and make it easier for him to breathe. 2. Humidifier: Using a humidifier in his room, especially during sleep, helps keep his nasal passages moist and eases breathing. 3. Hydration: Offer plenty of fluids like water or warm soup to help thin mucus. 4. Honey (if approved by a doctor): For children over one year, honey may help soothe a sore throat or cough (avoid honey in children under one year). 5. Warm Steam: Sitting with him in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes can provide relief by opening nasal passages. Since young children are sensitive to certain medications, it’s essential to avoid giving him over-the-counter cold medications unless prescribed by a pediatrician. If the runny nose continues, or if he develops a fever or other symptoms, please consult a healthcare provider for appropriate treatment.
