Hi, your child needs a good bronchodilator. Start by giving her Syrup Ambrolite S 4 ml thrice a day for 5 days. Continue giving her nebulizations with Asthalin solution.Start a course of antibiotic in form of Syrup Augmentin if she runs fever or her condition deteriorates. Give her a course of Syrup Kidpred(5mg/5ml) 5mg twice a day for 3-5 days. This should reduce her congestion. Continue to put nasivion nasal drops in her both nasal openings 3-4 times daily.
Thanks and regards.
