Child Has Nasal Congestion. Had Fever. Will It Clear Up On Its Own?
My 3 yr old has had nasal congestion for 1 wk ( mucus is clear/Tried steam, benadryl , saline drops with no relief) On Day 1, Day 4 and Day 7 she had a fever up to 102 degrees between 9pm and 4am only (Used fever reducer) The rest of the time she has no fever or pains and only complains of a sicky nose and acts normally. Should I be worried or will this clear up on its own?

Your child has a viral infection.
Please give him a nasal decongestant 4 times daily for 5 days and paracetamol if temperature is above 100F. No other medications are required.

Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
