Hello,
Cough and cold are viral 95% of the time in children. For cold, you can use anti-allergic like Levocetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do.
For cold, you can use Levocetrizine at 1.25mg/dose as a single daily dose for 3 days.
For nasal block, plain saline nasal drops will do, every 4-6th hourly to relieve nasal congestion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology
