Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi, most probably your child is suffering from upper respiratory tract infection. send the child has running nose it suggest that child has exposure to home cold temperature. You should take some precautions to prevent cold in children like avoid coldwater, cold drink, ice cream, put warm clothes at night. you should also give cough syrup like syrup Sinarest 5 ml 3 times a day for 3 days. If there is no improvement in 24 hours, then you should get the child examined by a doctor. if there is fever, respiratory distress, vomiting, then also you should get the child examined by a doctor. I hope this will help you. Take care.
