A. it is better to consult dr. instead of self medication. because children are affected in viral infection nowadays.

A. it is advisable not to self medicate and meet your doctor who will examine the child and then give proper medicines. many times you may feel that the last medicine can be used again for the same problem but many times it is not and also do not give any type of antibiotics without medical consultation kindly give nasal saline drops every three hourly and since it is a salt water it does not have any side effects and can be given again and agfain for nasal blockage and try to prevent temperature variations on 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
