What Is The Treatment For Nasal Congestion In A 3-year-old?
Question: My 3 weeks old kid seems to be having nasal congestion.
Brief Answer:
Put only saline nasal drops please
Detailed Answer:
Hi...at this age - do not use any oral medications for nasal block or cold also.
For nasal block, plain saline nasal drops will do, every 4-6th hourly to relive nasal congestion (available as Nasivion-S).
I wish your kid a speedy recovery. If you need any future medical consultation and suggestions, I will be glad to help. You can approach me at the following link.

In this way even in health care magic you can follow up always with a single doctor who knows the history of your kid completely.
Best regards,
