What Causes Congestion, Cough And Running Nose?

My 5 yr old son had a sinus infection a few weeks ago that returned Friday night. He has coughing, clear drainage, runny nose and fever off and on. About an hour ago I discovered a rash on his lower back. I had been giving him the decongestant from his last dr visit. Should we go to the ER?

Thanks for consulting in HealthcareMagic . Causes -supercooling, drafts, viral, bacterial infections, allergy, bad immunity. Try to keep your child hydrated with plenty of water, ginger,lemon and turmeric powder tea.It seems he has allergy on his back , thats why give antihistamine/Benadryl/, from cough you give ambroxol 30mg 1/2 tab 2 times, from fever -antipiretic syrup or adol 250mg-1 suppositorium per rectum.Wash nose with saline solution 4 times in a day, drop otrivin 2 drops 2 times , it works 12 hour. Give zincovit-multivitamin 1 teaspoon 1 time 1month and tulsi juice1 teaspoon daily 1 month for increasing immunity. Cut onion, put 1/2 glass of water and leave near child, he will respirate fitoncides, which will kill viruses, you can drop this solution in his nose and give to drink. In addition he should rince his gurgle with soda, salt water or chlorhexidine with water and take sualin 1 tab 4 times for resolution.From home remedy procedures you can put mustard on soles in socks and do steam inhalation 1 teaspoon of soda for 2 glasses of water
