Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query in HealthcareMagic,

I have read through your query and can understand your concern,

From the description that you have provided, your baby seems to be having a mild allergic reaction, which could either be due to pollens or other airborne structures. Since the baby has no other specific symptoms, I would suggest you t give Syrup Cetrizine (2mg/5ml); dosage to be calculated according to the weight of he child.

If the symptoms does not subside withing another 2-3 days, I would suggest it best for you to consult with a pediatrician for a proper examination.

I hope this helps,

Please feel free to discuss further or else kindly close and share your positive feedback,

Regards.
