My son catches cold very easily even though we try to take all precautions. he is three years old at the moment. doctors said he has cold allergy problems. his problems usually start with a stuffy nose. can you advise what medicine i can give him right when the symptoms begin to show initially?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain if your son is diagnosed with Allergic cold and he suffer stuff nose as initial symptoms then you should give him anti allergics like Benadryl and decongestants for relieving the congestion and preventing the symptoms to become severe..
You can also make him do steam inhalation and avoid chilled foods..
You can also consult an Allergist and get him evaluated and he can do an allergic testing to rule out the exact cause of allergic reaction and preventing exposure to allergen and taking Immunotherapy to reduce the severity of allergic reaction can help..

Hope this information helps.

Thanks and regards.
