Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your infant have symptoms of sleeplessness and running nose which occurs due to upper respiratory infection bacterial or viral. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist/Pediatrician once and get it examined. Doctor may order certain test like nose or throat culture and test , blood test and swab test to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other condition like viral infection. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics , anti inflammatory and decongestants. Give child plenty of fluids to rehydrate body. You can put nasal drops as it will give relief by opening of sinuses. Mild steam inhalation can be given.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
