Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Nasal congestion and runny nose are common symptoms of a cold caused by a virus or by a allergens.Both the infection can cause swelling of the lining of the nose, obstructing the flow of air, and a runny nose.
For the temporary relief of cold symptoms for your daughter, she can follow these remedies
1.Plenty of oral fluids
2.Saline nasal sprays can safely provide soothing moisture to dry, irritated nasal passages.
3.Steam inhalation with Vapocaps
4.Nasal decongestants
5.Oral antihistamines like fexofenidine and loratidine combined with a nasal decongestant will improve the conditions.
Hope these remedies will improve the condition of your daughter, if it is not improving with these I suggest you to consult the ENT surgeon.
Thank you.
