Suggest Treatment For Nose Bleeds , Nasal Congestion And Coughing In A Child

Hi, my 4 year old and I relocated from NYC to Orlando Fl in October 2014. Since arriving he has been quite sickly, mainly runny nose, consistent coughing, frequent nosebleeds at night and high temps ranging from 99.9 to 102.0. Recently, he was given a nubulizer and abuterol with treatments every 4 hours. Problem was we had no insurance and was taking him only to the emergency room, his coverage started 3/1/2015 and his new doctor has not yet pin-pointed a specifi problem, but I am really worried that he is not doing well in this new environment. Today, his nursery school called to report that he has 99.9 temperature, consistent coughing and has vomited several times day. Any ideas what I should do? I plan to take him to his PCP afterhour care center tonight.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Your history suggests that your child may be suffering from Allergic rhinitis.
Steam inhalation,local instillation of saline nasal drops and a antihistamine like Ebastine syrup will relive as well as prevent the symptoms.
Monteleucast 4 mg daily will control coughing.
Antibiotic like Amoxycillin and clavulanate combination and paracetamol will control fever.
It is difficult to pin point the diagnosis without seeing the patient.
Follow your doctor's instructions to arrive at a diagnosis.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
