Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
Alergy to dust, change of climate and Deviated Nasal Septum, etc. can cause recurrent nasal congestion.
I would suggest that you should get him clinically examined and investigated by his Paediatrician and an ENT specialist.
Saline nasal drops are safer and can be used. If the symptoms persists, paediatric nasal decongestant drops containing oxymetazoline can be used under medical supervision only.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
