HI....Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in children. For cold you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do. Nukast is Monteleukast and must be given only once a day dose. No major adverse effects are reported and hence do not worry. Other medicines are fine, which you have been giving.
