Hello,

Nasal congestion can lead to nasal swelling mild. Headache, sore throat and nasal congestion are symptoms of upper respiratory infection. Sinusitis may also be present. Her breathing difficulty is due to severe nasal congestion.

For treatment take tab. Tylenol every 6th hourly, tab. Sinarest or combination of chlorpheneramine maleate and phenylephrine, daily twice for 3 days. Do steam inhalation once daily and warm salt water gargle daily twice. If your daughter's symptoms don't subside, then you need to consult a pediatrician.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
