Suggest Treatment For Cough And Blocked Nose In A Child
My baby had congestion and cough and dr prescribed her levolin syrup, phenergan, omnacortil. She got to normal two weeks back. Three days ago she again started getting the cough with fever. Fever is gone with crocin but cough and blocked nose and congestion is still there. For three days I nebulised her with levolin 0.3mg thrice a day. Problems are still there but I am afraid to go to the dr as my daughter had too many antibiotics with different drs. Pls help

Giving saline nasal drops like nasoclear as per requirement should help in clearing the nasal block. If you think that nasal congestion still persists, you might try giving nasivion nasal drops (oxymetazoline) a few times a day and the nasal congestion should subside. Although it is probably caused due to a viral infection, you should still keep the child under the follow up of a pediatrician. I understand your concerns though.
