Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic and thanks for putting up the query,

The pictures attached are just a prescription for CT scan. The medicines comprise of antiallergics.
I would advise you to send me the picture of your throat so that I can suggest you better.

Take a combination of levocetirizine 5mg plus montelukast 10mg once daily for a week and xylometazoline nasal drops 0.5% three times a day.

These are safe for the baby too.

Follow up with the picture and CT report.

Any further questions are always welcome.

Take care
Thanks and regards
