Suggest Treatment For Nose Congestion In Infants
Hello Doctor, my 7 month old boy is having blocked nose since he was 30 days old. He is not comfortable while sleep and wakes up 6 to 8 times in night due to blocker nose. I have got him checked from ENT specialist and he recommended anti allergy medicine which worked for 5 days and then again the same situation. Now I am giving him Alaspan 2.5mg once in a day. Please suggest if this medicine is ok.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Well the problem with Alaspan is that you can use but for short period because your child is small. In my opinion you should try to use aerosol therapy 2-3 times a day with NaCl or even Clenyl. Of course if you use Clenyl for short period but you can use aerosol with NaCl for long period and it helps in little babies.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
