Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have symptoms of frequent cough, runny nose and fever despite giving Levolin which due to inflammation and blockage of sinuses leading to upper respiratory tract infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician/ENT specialist once and go for sinus endoscopy for visualization of sinuses. You should get X-ray chest done along with pulmonary function tests to find out extent of infection and start treatment. Take mucolytic agent or decongestants. Avoid hot, sharp , spicy food substances and carbonated beverages. Do chlorhexidine mouth-rinse as well. You should go for CT sinuses. Avoid intake of outside food.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
