Suggest Medication For Cold And Running Nose In A Teething Baby

my baby is suffering from cold and she has continuous running nose since today morning. Can i administer her Coriminic drops and what should be the dosage. Also, she is 1.5 yrs of age and since her canines have started coming, she has stopped eating. It has been more than a month. I have been told by doctors that it is due to teething, but despite of having good appetite, she has stopped taking any solid food and she just chews and take out the food from her mouth. Pls advise

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that your daughter is suffering from viral infection/upper respiratory tract infection and cold and runny nose is due to it.

As far as Coriminic drops are concerned they contain Phenylephrine and chlorpheniramine it can be administered to relieve congestion..

You can also put saline nasal drops as it will help in loosening mucous and ease in drainage..
Give her steam inhalations and use a humidifier in her room..
Give her plenty of warm water and other warm fluids..
Give her a soft and bland diet..
Avoid chilled and spicy foods..
Give her plenty of rest..
Make her sleep in lateral positions and head slightly raised to ease in nasal drainage and preventing congestion..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
