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 fever which needs treatment accordbingly along with a proper hydration needs to be maintainehd .

A. hi have you consulted your pediatrician before giving the Medicine? because you can not give antibiotics without consulting your pediatrician. anyways ,now , please keep your child well hydrated. give indirect steam to your child. or apply Babyhug rapid relief rub on chest and back of your child. you may use Nasal saline drops for blocked nose. keep your child head slightly elevated while feeding and sleeping.
