Child. Cold, Blocked Nose. History Of Similar Symptoms Cured With Nebulizer With Duolin And Budocart Respules. Suggest

Hi, we recently came from India, and during the journey my 18 months old daughter got sick. She is suffering from cold (running nose) and she could not sleep because nose is getting blocked.

She had similar problem 6 months back, that time as per doctor's prescription we have used nebulizer with Duolin and Budocart respules. That cured her very well and she was in perfect health condition before we travel.

So, now is it good to use nebulizer here (in US) with out doctor prescription. Or please suggest what other medicine can be used?

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
I do not think with this simple rhinitis you should use nebulizer.
Give her some degongestant oral drops or Benadryl.
Put some pediatric decongestant nasal drops.
Ok and take care.

hello dear,
there is no need to use nebulizer for simple cold or blocked nose. if your child is having any symptoms of fever, running nose, wheezing ( rumbling sound that you can hear when child is breathing ), difficulty in sleeping then only you can use nebulization with duolin or budocart.
for blocked nose and cold you can use simple nasal decongestants.
thank you.
