Suggest Treatment For Cold And Asthma In A Child
i understand tylenol cold is indicated for kids 6 and older My kid is 5 and half years old. He is getting of a viral infection on his throat. His throat is good now. But he still has runny nose. The problem with that is that he has also asthma, and the runny nose triggers his asthma. Is there a way to dea with the runny nose, besides the ommyopatic drops which doesn t do anything for him?

Hi...By what you quote I feel that - apart from asthma he is having co-morbid allergic rhinitis too. The best way to prevent this is to prevent getting exposed to triggers (if you have identified any), if not the alternative is to use intranasal steroids for 4-8 weeks and he will definitely get better.
