Hello I have gone through your complaints. Your child is suffering from upper respiratory tract infection. Mostly it can be a viral infection. Noisy breathing is due to partial nasal block of nose. If your child is having excessive cough in the night with wheezing episodes your child needs salbutamol for which he will respond. As your doctor prescribed you can continue nasal drops which clears the nasal air way. If he is having frequent nasal blocks then you can go for influenza vaccination which is given yearly.
Thank you. Good day

Hi,
Thank you for your query,
Your child is having simple common cold and for nose block you can give saline nasal drops or nasal spray.
You can put these drops into nostril before taking food and before going to bed to get relief from nose.
Consult your Pediatrician for oral syrups for cold and cough.
Hope i have answered your query.

Hi
Thanks for your query
Your child is having blocked nose with cough.
You should not do any self medication.Flixonase drops contain steroid and are given in allergic rhinitis,get you child examined by a pediatrician,
In the meantime give saline nasal drops 3 to 4 times a day,give steam inhalation.
warm fluids will be soothing.

Your baby will be fine.
God bless
