Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
As you mentioned that the there is running nose, few days ago diagnosed as an eczema .
In my opinion eczema and running nose is due to allergy and this is a precursor of asthmatic allergic bronchitis .
Usually I have seen that that patient develops bronchoconstriction , cough , runny nose itching over face ( mild ) .
All these symptoms are very common and in my opinion not a cause of concern.
Only a potent bronchodilator drug require.
I don't prescribe antibiotics to my patients.
Only anti allergic and bronchodilators are sufficient.
In my opinion consult a physician and get a treatment .
When your child will attain 14-15 years, he will get rid of these symptoms due to sex hormones.
Good luck for your little one. Dr. HET
