Chest examination required
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for posting on healthcaremagic. Most of such cases occur due to viral infection which does not respond to antibiotics. But sometimes there is associated superadded bacterial infection as exhibited by chest congestion where antibiotics might be required. I would insist you to visit a pediatrician and to get the child examined so that steps can be taken accordingly. Steam inhalation or nebulization will help in diluting the cough or chest congestion and should provide relief. Also give some antiallergic syrup like ascoril LS 2.5 ml twice daily for a few days. Continue the saline nasal drops. You may also try nasivion nasal drops to release nasal congestion. Generally viral infections show spontaneous recovery in 5-7 days.
