Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

You have done the right thing by giving your daughter steam inhalation which will certainly help her in opening her nostrils. Instead of starting an antibiotic straight away I suggest that you give her Piriton 2.5 ml. three times a day which shall help her. In case the problem persists then you need to consult a doctor and start an appropriate antibiotic.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing your daughter an early recovery.

Regards,
