Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Generally, upper respiratory drops in infants is caused due to viral infection, which would be self limiting over a period of time.
However, it needs to be treated symptomatically. Continue with Dolo drops, which would take care of fever. You can use drops containing Chlorpheniramine maleate and Phenylephrine which is anti-allergic and decongestant.
You can use saline nasal drops for blocked nose.
Kindly consult Pediatrician for proper dosage to be administered.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
