Suggest Treatment For Blocked Nose

I have a 2 month old baby boy (5,2kg). His nose is blocked and the doctor prescribed saline drops. It came to me that the problem might be the cat in our house and I asked him if this could be the problem. He said that I must give the baby Allergex syrup 1,25ml - how often can I give the syrup as the bottle I bought from the pharmacy only indicates "see brochure" and there was no brochure included

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...No antibhistaminics and anit cough medicatoins are indicated or licensed to be used in this age group. I suggest you not use Allergex.

For nasal block, plain saline nasal drops will do, every 4-6th hourly to relive nasal congestion.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
