Pediatrician 's  Response
You have not mentioned the age of the child. Most children suffer from cough and cold which is caused due to a viral infection. It generally has an allergic component which is manifested by runny nose.

Giving some antiallergic like levocetirizine along with steam inhalation thrice daily should give the child relief. For calming the child at night pedicloryl syrup may help.
