POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy10 months agoA. I'm not a doctor, but I can suggest some general options that may help with a cold and runny nose. For symptom relief, you could consider:
1. Antihistamines: Over-the-counter antihistamines like cetirizine or loratadine can help reduce a runny nose and sneezing.
2. Decongestants: Pseudoephedrine or phenylephrine can relieve nasal congestion. They’re available in some over-the-counter cold medications but consult a pharmacist to choose one that suits you.
3. Saline Nasal Spray: This can help clear nasal passages and make breathing easier without medication side effects.
4. Steam Inhalation: Inhaling steam may help soothe your sinuses and reduce congestion.
5. Hydration: Staying hydrated helps thin mucus and can relieve congestion.
If your symptoms persist, worsen, or if you develop a fever, it's a good idea to consult a healthcare professional for specific advice and treatment.
