Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your toddler have symptoms of cough and runny nose which is due to viral infection of respiratory tract and it could be co infection of bacteria.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to use vaporizers rub in small quantity.
- Use room humidifiers as well to prevent any allergic reaction to child.
- Give child antihistamine such as Benadryl or Chlorpheniramine along with Amoxicillin.
- Avoid hot, sharp, spicy food.
- Give cough expectorants to child.
Your physician prescribed you correct inhaler medication, you should take it in small quantity to avoid dependence. I would advise you to visit pediatrician once and get it examined if symptoms keeps on persisting. Start treatment after proper diagnosis. Get sinus x ray and chest X-ray done if symptoms keeps on persisting.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
