A. but i gave her 3 doses in a day but dr tell me 2 doses.. so any problems occur bcos of overdoses??

Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children4 years ago

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 nee beds treatment accordingly along with a proper hydration needs to be maintained .
