You can give cetrizine or hydroxizine

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for asking on this platform

I have gone through the query and do understand your concern.
The main issue of concern is that how is the general condition of the baby. I won't get worried if child is active, playful, there is no breathing difficulties and there is no significant feeding problem.
Giving antiallergic like cetrizine or hydroxizine will help. Put nasal saline drops in nose to loosen the nasal secretions.Plesse get the antiallergic medicine prescribed by a pediatrician as this is a prescription medicine.
I hope this helps.
Please let me know if you have any more questions.
Wishing for your baby's good health.
Regards
