It is non specific symptoms and not of much concern.

Do get an assesment from the Pediatrician to know the patency of nose and also to look for adenoid hyperplasia.

Steam inhalation given using electronic steamer will definitely be helpful.


In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Wishing you happy and healthy life

Take Care
