Hi I did review your concern.
If sinurest drops are not relieving your childs cold I would recommend you give nasal steam inhalation with mild vicks or menthol added in it.DO keep the child away though from the hot steam source. Also nasal saline drops works wonder in these cases.
If you find that the cold does not go away or there is yellowish discharge or high grade fever then I would recommend that you take him to doctor and get his nose examined and probably start him on antibiotics.
I hope this helps.
Wish you all the best.
