Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. can use many times ie every 3hrly also
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 10 yr 11 m old girl1 Year agoA. Saline drops are used for nasal passage if you’re talking about nasal drops but if you’re using saline water to nebulae the child that you can easily 3-4 times in the day which is what is going to be helpful for opening up the congestion
