Hello,
Probably your child is suffering from condition called chronic rhinitis. Causes of chronic rhinitis are infection, allergy, irritants or conditions like adenoids, polyps, etc.
You should consult an ENT specialist who will prescribe nasal drops, antiallergic medications or antibiotics, etc., depending upon clinical examination and investigations.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
