My baby is 10mo and he is having cold and runny nose with congestion can u recommend any medicine for this. We travelled from. Qatar recently so please suggest a medicine which can be avail even outside India

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 alhiong 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 accordingly along with a proper hydration needs to be maintained .
