Hi

Might be your son is having Allergic Rhinitis which is mostly seasonal.
Usually it presents with running nose, red itchy eyes etc without fever.
You may continue Elriz syrup alone for about 5 days. And for the blocked nose you may use saline nasal drops (Nasoclear) 2 drops in each nostril three times a day for 4 to 5 days.
If he develops the same again and again, ask your doctor for medicines that prevent allergic episodes.
Hope my answer helps you.
