Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have symptoms of cough and nasal congestion despite giving Tylenol which seems to be due to due to upper respiratory tract infection.

Need not to worry about it. I would suggest you to

- Go for steam inhalation in a very cautious way along with nasal vaporizers.

- Put xylomist nasal drops to prevent congestion.

- Give diet rich in vitamin C.

- Give ice packs if fever will be of high value and give child Calpol tablet every 6 hourly.

- Take combination of Sinarest along with Levofloxacin.

- Take decongestant nasal sprays containing mucinex for immediate relief.

Visit pediatrician and get it examined and start treatment as per diagnosis. You should get blood and sputum tests done.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
