My baby is 20 months old, I took her to the pool past three days.. she seems to have a blocked nose since night and runny since she woke up this morning. I have levocit syrup and relent syrup.. I gave Levocit at 5 Am around .75 ml via dropper in the morning, but her sneezing and runny nose is really bad right now.. what can i give her?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Whenever a child has cold with blocked nose, normal saline drops put into each nostril will be of use.

They clear the block and help in breathing. Antihistamine drops as prescribed by your doctor may be used.

Hope this helps. Continue to ask further queries.

Take care.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. This looks allergic rhinitis:

1. Levoctrizine syp dose for 1-6 yr - 2.5 mg BD (TWICE IN A DAY)

2. Steam inhalation. Keep hot water at some distance when child is lying . Keep protection from warm water.

3. No need of antibiotic right now.

Thanks,
Dr. Neha Jain
