Suggest Treatment For Cold And Runny Nose In A Child
Hello Doctor. My KID ( 2 y 9 months old ) just started having cold with running nose. I used to take Ambrolite D with 3.5 ml as per instructions. Now Ambrolite is banned in India. Can you please suggest an alternative syrup for the same. Appreciate your valuable response. Thank you!

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your kid have symptoms of cold and runny nose which is due to upper respiratory infection. It is due to poor immunity of body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get chest x-ray done along with pulmonary function tests done so as to detect level of infection and treatment can be started accordingly. You should avoid use of spicy, sharp oily and fried food substances. You should take combination of antibiotic Levofloxacin along with antihistamine such as Levocetirizine. You should take cough expectorants. You should do warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages. Apply mist humidifiers in room. You should take throat soothing agents.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
