Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy4 years agoA. This can occur due to weather changes or simple cold
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 again 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
rest of the medicines will be told by the doctor

Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children4 years agoA. Cough and Cold have to be treated only after a proper examination by a doctor after the exact cause is diagnosed.it may be any infection or it may be allergic too.it is not so related to food items or climate but seasonal changes may aggravate the susceptibility to get infected.avoid refrigerated food items .maintain good immunity of the child with proper diet and supplements.
it may be associated with fever too for which calpol can be given.
As the first line of treatment for relief you can give steam inhalation which would be of great help .to relieve blocked nose nasoclear drops can also be used multiple times.
Cough Syrup or nebulization should be given only after a proper evaluaoption according to the type of cough .self medication may not be so helpful so please consult your doctor once. if the cough is productive you can give brozepet-ls or ambrodil syrup for now only n continue only after doctor's advice.
