Hi Doctor, my son is 6 years old and has sinus infection since the age of 4 and a half, recently his nose is always blocked especially in the mornings and in the evenings, what can I do to help him? I have been to the doctor many times he gives him the nose drops.

Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.


He needs Benadryl syrup best suited for his age and available over the counter. Plus give him Tylenol Syrup and Saline nasal spray to be sprayed in both the nostrils 3 times a day. Apply Vicks VapoRub on neck and chest of the child and gently massage.

Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier is the best option for him. Add a vicks mat in the machine too and use the mat not more than one in 48 hours. Your child should sleep with the humidifier on in the room. It will soften the mucous and will help open the airways and nasal stuffiness will also get relieved. Steam vapours in the room will make the baby get comfortable sleep and a fresh morning with open nose.

Hope I answered all of your questions. Have a wonderful time ahead. Keep in touch for a follow-up too.

Regards!
