What Causes Blocked Nose And Mouth Breathing In A Child?

Hi, One week ago i had my 2 1/2 year old in a hot tub with me. It had been shocked an hour before. that night and every night since then his nose closes up and he breaths thru his mouth, his nose does not run but stays stopped up. in the last few days he has started swollowing air and now burps and passes gas constintly. what is going on. I called in to drs office today but no return call back. thanks in advanced for any help you can give me. Val

blocked nose may be due to congestion of nasal mucosa. topical nasal decongestants are very useful to open blocked nose. xylometazoline drops are very effective. these can be used for shortest required time.
