Hi,
From history it seems that he might be having allergic rhinitis giving this trouble.
Give him Montek LC anti allergic medicine for 1-2 weeks.
This is good anti-allergic medicine for respiratory tract infection.
Put otrivin pediatric nasal drops for runny nose.
Avoid giving cold drinks and junk food.
Ok and take care.
