How Can Cold And Sinus Be Treated While On Sinarest And Plectranthus Amboinicus?
Question: My 20 month old daughter with weight 14.5 kg is having cold from couple of day, no fever. Her nose is blocked and we can feel it when she is breathing especially while sleeping.
We had given her one dose of Sinarest yesterday morning and Plectranthus amboinicus ayurvedic home made preparation yesterday night. She is not allowing us to put nasal drops. We have tried giving her steam as well.
Today afternoon while sleeping she started to cough and omitted mucus along with the food she ate. She is otherwise normal can see mucus coming out from her nose as well frequently.
Kindly suggest if any medication needed.

Brief Answer:
Try the nasal drops when there is a scope
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your daughter is possibly suffering from a viral infection. In such cases the respiratory secretions get thickened as cough and diluting them is the way out. Steam inhalation and saline nasal drops are thus the way out. Without those, it would be hard to relieve the nasal block. Rather than Sinarest I would prefer other antiallergics like Cetzine, Allegra or Atarax. Sinarest also contains paracetamol which is unnecessary unless there is fever at that point of time. I do not suppose that any other medicine is needed. You can continue Plectranthus amboinicus preparation. It is a succulent and therefore can help by improving hydration.
The nasal secretions can continue for the next few days. If the child is otherwise active there no cause for concern.
Dose mentioned
Detailed Answer:
Atarax Drops 1.2 ml is to be given thrice daily for the next few days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
