2 viral infections.
3 sinusitis
What u can do
Avoid taking him to crowded places,parties,etc
Avoid cold blast of air
Keep his ears covered when you take him in the car,bike,bus etc.
If allergic, you can start him on antihistamine like cetrizine when he starts running nose or sneezing.
Give him early dinner by 7 pm and allow him to sleep with head slightly raised.
Good luck
