Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Cold and nasal congestion signal a respiratory infection.Most of these infections are of viral origin and may need only symptomatic management.Bacteria infections are however possible.The symptoms could as well be caused by allergy.I will advise:
-Continue with asthalin and Predcord as these will make the child to breath better due to their bronchodilatory and antiinflammatory properties
-Avoid cold and other irritants like dust and smoke
-Let the child have enough fluids
If the problem persist, you will have to see the Doctor again for evaluation for him to judge the need for antibiotics.
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
