Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Phenylephrine drops are not recommended in children less than 2 years of age.\
Also routine use of higher antibiotic like Amoxycillin+ Clavulanate is not recommended.
Majority of respiratory infection are viral in origin and self limiting. It requires supportive care. Instillation of normal saline nasal drops into nostril will provide much needed relief.


Do get back to me for further queries

Take Care
