Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. avoid in small children.
this can occurs due to weather changes and temperature variations or simple cold and rarely infection.
kindly give nasal saline drops (nasoclear /nasivion s)every three hourly and since it is a salt water/saline water it does not have any side effects and can be given again and again for nasal blockage and respiratory cough.
it will dissolve mucus in nose and throat.
for fever and pain give paracetamol.
anti-cold medicines at this age have got side effects so can be given only after medical consultation.
try to prevent temperature variations around the child and you can also give indirect steam inhalation and if there is no improvement in 2 or 3 days then meet your doctor
RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl1 Year agoA. See if your doctor has prescribed you these drops then you can give it to the child otherwise I will not suggest you to give it to the child if you are not very certain about a small child they always suggest you to go ahead with your paediatrician suggestion in terms of medicines to be given
