Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.
I can understand your concern.

First your child should be examined by your doctor. This is to rule out any respiratory problem or other complications that your child may be having. Some times they may be associated with allergies. If he confirms the diagnosis and rules out other complications he may be advising antihistaminics.
Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
