Suggest Treatment For Nasal Congestion And Cough In A Child

My 4 year old has been running a fever for a couple of days. She has nasal congestion and coughs occasionally. She has wanted to rest more and eat less, but isn t complaining about any other symptoms. She is active and alert, but obviously under the weather. Should I be worried about the fever not breaking yet?

Hi, the condition sugeests that child has got a Viral Upper respiratory tract infection. Once infected, it takes 5 to 7 days to subside. So right now , you just have to treat the child symptomatically. Give him Syrup Crocin round the click every 6-8 hourly. Also give him Syrup Sinarest AF 5 ml thrice daily. That will take care of nasal and throat congestion. A nasal drop(Nasivion or nasoclear) shall give her temporarily relief for nose block. The child should be fine in a couple of days.
Thanks and regards.
