Hi,

Thanks for writing to us.

I understand your concern.

As per symptoms mentioned by you,your nephew is having allergic rhinitis.
In some children below 2 years of age there is sensitization to some indoor allergens leading to clear nasal discharge,nasal itching,watery eyes.

Common indoor allergens are;
dust mites/animal dander/indoor moulds/cockroaches/feathers/pollens.etc

I suggest you to get him examined by pediatrician as some tests will be needed like CBC,IgE level.

Environmental control plays an important role.Identify allergen and avoid it.Removal of trigger has a dramatic effect.

Medication which are helpful are antihistamines,corticosteroid sprays.,decongestants
Discuss it with your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query,if you have any other question I would be glad to help.

God bless!!
