POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. Since your son has been suffering from a cough and blocked nose for a month, it's important to consult a pediatrician to rule out any underlying infection like allergies, sinusitis, or prolonged viral infection. However, here are some home remedies and safe medications that may help:
Home Remedies for Cough & Blocked Nose
✅ Saline Nasal Drops – Helps clear nasal congestion (use before feeding or sleep).
✅ Steam Inhalation – Sit in a steamy bathroom with the baby for 10 minutes.
✅ Mustard Oil Massage – Warm mustard oil with garlic, strain it, and massage on the chest, back, and feet.
✅ Ajwain Potli – Dry roast ajwain (carom seeds), tie in a cloth, and keep near the baby’s pillow.
✅ Warm Fluids – If your child is older than 6 months, offer warm water, homemade soups, or tulsi-ginger water.
Medicines (Only After Doctor's Advice) For Cough: Syrups containing Ambroxol, Levosalbutamol, or Honey-based syrups (age-appropriate dosage). For Blocked Nose: Nasivion Saline Drops (baby-friendly version). For Allergies: Cetirizine Syrup (if the doctor suspects allergies). For Fever (if present): Paracetamol drops (Calpol or P-125) as per weight. When to See a Doctor?
⚠️ Cough lasting more than 4 weeks
⚠️ Wheezing, fast breathing, or difficulty breathing
⚠️ High fever (above 100.4°F) or worsening symptoms
⚠️ Reduced appetite, weight loss, or extreme tiredness
Since your child’s symptoms have lasted a month, it's best to consult a pediatrician to check for chronic allergies, infections, or asthma-related conditions. Let me know if you need more help!
