Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, my twin sons (10 months) have slight running nose only in the evening. A week before they had severe cold and that went off. Now every evening we see both have slight running nose in the evenings/night. In the mornings there is nothing. what could be problem and what can we do ?
Most often cough and cold in children of this age is caused due to certain viral infections. They are generally associated with an allergic component which is responsible for the runny nose and it seems to be just a continuation of the previous infection. Giving some antiallergic like Cetirizine syrup is likely to be more helpful. Also give steam inhalation. Antibiotics would not be effective in such infections. Irrespective of use of antibiotics, it should take 7-10 days and you would have to be patient.
