Brief Answer:
Antiallergics should provide relief.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on healthcareMagic.
Viral infections in children are quite common. These viruses are everywhere and all you can do is to maintain overall hygiene. You need to give some antiallergic drops like cetirizine. If the child is on breast feeding, it is to be continued as it imparts the best immunity. If there is nasal block, saline nasal drops like nasoclear may be given. Nothing else needs to be done unless there is wheezing.
Let me know if I could help further.
