What Is The Treatment For Cold And Runny Nose In A Child?
my 3 yr old son has had a runny nose for weeks. The doc diagnosed him with allergies and prescribed zyrtec-low dose- every day. He has been taking this for only 5 days. Tonight he has a temp of 100, his face, ears. Seems to have sore throat. He refuses to take any medications; all of my sneaky hidden meds in a fruit snack tricks aren't working. Please tell me if I should go to ER tonight. Thank you!

Hi
He has developed fresh infection. Give him paracetamol, sponge him to bring down temperature. Give him plenty of warm liquid. Visit ER .
