Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of nasal congestion and cough since 4 days which seems to be due to upper respiratory tract infection . Need not to worry about it. You should go for steam inhalation on daily basis along with nasal vaporizers. You should put xylomist nasal drops to prevent congestion. You can use nosikind p drops twice daily with 3-4 drops. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment as per diagnosis. Take decongestant nasal sprays containing mucinex for instant relief. You should take chicken soup along with along with lemon tea. Take diet rich in vitamin C. Take combination of Livofloxacin along with Levocetrizine.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
