Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your children have nagging cough, cold and runny nose which seems to be due to chest infection/ chronic upper respiratory tract infection. I would suggest you to take nasal sprays and do warm saline gargles. You can take Anti-allergic Benedryl or cetrizine, it helps to reduce mucous production. Take proper course of antibiotic as well. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get throat swab test and paranasal sinus x-ray done and start treatment after proper prescription. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
