Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query one year old has cough and runny nose which is due to inflammation and blockage of sinuses leading to upper respiratory tract infection. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician once . You should get culture of sinuses done and sensitivity from sinus fluids can help in correct diagnosis. You should get X-ray chest done along with alergy test to find out exact cause and start treatment. Doctor may prescribe antibacterial , anti viral depending upon the diagnosis , mucolytic agent or decongestants.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
