Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My son is 10 months old and has been having running nose for almost 10 days now. The doc prescribed Relent, Maxtra and Bactrim first. After a week he changed it to Maxtra, Zyrcold and refzil and wants to add defcort. He is developing fever now. What shoud be done now?
I understand your concerns but don't worry. Running nose and mild coryza in this age group are due to self limiting viral infections. They need just symptomatic treatment, good diet, hydration and rest. It impoves within a period of 2-3 weeks.
So, kindly avoid any of the medications at present. Use nasal suction and normal saline drops 3-4 times a day. A room humidifier while sleeping if the weather is dry will be useful.
