Hello doctor, My kid is 2 years 8 months old he is getting cold often and getting tears in eyes it means just he lies in bed with fan his eyes starts to tear ...as I know his eyes tears in night time when he is suffering from cold when he starts sleep no issues...I went to pediatrician..and ask him to prescribe for immunity as he always getting cold ad tearing eyes. He prescribed me asthalin and corex for cold augmentin ,imubless, zincovit and himalaya septilin I gave asthalin and cortex for 1 week cold controlled for that 1 week and he got cold after 2 days when asthalin and cortex stopped....so I started to give ambrolite-s and sinarest for last two days but when medicine stops he caught up again with cold and tearing this is happening since 4 months...sometimes he says eye is itching along with tearing....2 months before I consulted general doctor and she prescribed me some eye drops and relent and cetrizine that made him ok for that time only....again he caught up with cold

Hello,

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your kid's history and would like to make suggestions for him as follows:

1. As he is getting recurring cold, I would suggest you to rule out allergies first.
I would suggest him investigations like serum total IgE and specific allergy testing for common air-borne allergens such as house dust mites, molds, pollens, insect proteins, pet dander (if you have pet), etc.

This will help you identify the substances causing allergies to him as well as to know the measures to avoid them.

2. If he is routinely exposed to passive smoking, dusts, air pollution, etc, please avoid exposure to such things as much as possible. They can cause recurring cold and coughs even without causing allergies.

3. Usually I suggest such patients regular montelukast + levocetirizine for 2-3 months.

4. I also suggest such patients vitamin D, vitamin C, probiotics, zinc and a good multivitamin-multivitamin for 2-3 months to improve immunity.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish your kid the best of the health ahead.

Thank you & Regards.
