Please mention the body weight of the child

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through the details and understand your concern. Most often such symptoms are due to viral infections which also have an allergic component. The mentioned medicines are proper. However, I need to know the body weight of your child to be able to give the proper doses.

Use Nasoclear Saline Nasal Drops in case of nose block. Give Nasivion only if steam inhalation does not provide full relief.

I will wait for your response.

Regards
