Suggest Treatment For Cold And Runny Nose In A Child
My one year old daughter had a sharp cough, runny nose and very high temp 39.4 last week, i took her to my local doctor and he prescribed and antibiotic and steroids, he said she had bronchiolitis, this is her third day of taking teh medicine and her cough is still quite bad, and when she coughs her stomach goes right in. She started crèche last Oct and has been sick every other week. Since she started crèche she has been on antibiotics four times for different things, i am worried about what they are doing to her and why she has been so sick since joining creceh as prior to that she wasn t a day sick.

Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
Some advices that I can give to you are :
-To relieve a sore throat, gargle with warm salt water,
- use throat sprays,
- suck on ice or lozenges.
-Try a saltwater nasal rinse. These can help with a stuffy or runny nose.
- Use petroleum jelly on your nose if it's irritated from constant blowing.
-Use ibuprofen for fever
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help.
Regards,
Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi
