Brief Answer:
Try antihistamines like Cetrizine

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Based on your description I would like to consider a viral infection of the upper respiratory system.
It is better to continue medicines as advised by your doctor.
If the nose is irritating, you can try antihistamines like Cetrizine.
I usually prescribe around 2ml twice daily for such patients in my clinic.
The symptoms usually should resolve in a few days. Nothing to worry.
However, if the baby develops any other symptoms like fever, dullness, cough, etc consult with your Pediatrician again.
Regards
Dr. Arun
