Suggest Treatment For Runny Nose And Sleeplessness In Infant
Question: Hi Doctor,
My 1 year old daughter is suffering from runny nose from today morning and she is not able to sleep at all. however she has taken some solid, soup and breast feeding.
But she is not allowing us to use the mucus sucker and due to runny nose her nose is blocked and sometimes mucus is streaming from her nostrils. She is not able to lie down even for a minute and crying.
I have given 1 dose of T-mimic and Ambrodil (5ml each) 30 mints back but no luck till now. We are also giving Nesoclear but that is not helping as she is already having runny nose..
Do we need to take her to the hospital and give nebulizer? i am not able to understand how to make her sleep and give some relief

Brief Answer:
OTC nasal decongestant drops (pediatric). Single dose tonight.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. You can use Otrinoz-Pediatric (0.05% Xylometazoline) Nasal drops 5-4 per nostril as a one time use. This will open up her nose and let her sleep.
2. You can the follow up with an ENT Specialist tomorrow for a detailed examination, rule out a cold, sinusitis, nasal obstruction, adenoid hypertrophy and also review the medication.
3. It will take more than 30 minutes for the medicines to act.
I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any more questions I will be available to answer them.
