Brief Answer:
It is not common. He may be having an allergy.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Stuffy nose most of the time is not common. I think he is having some allergy due to which he is having stuffy nose. I would suggest you to use saline nasal drops to each nostril twice or three times a day. Steam inhalation also helps.
It is better if you can visit a pediatrician for a detailed examination and treatment.
I hope this answered your query.

Hi Doctor,
When we have visited the doctor locally. He had given sample of Flunose spray for usage. Can we use that children? Is it safe? As it reads steroid on it?
Thanks

Brief Answer:
Yes it is safe.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Yes flunase spray is safe to use. As we need to subside the allergic reaction we usually give steroid. I would suggest to use it as and when required. He will get over the allergy as he grows up.
I hope this answered your query.
