Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Please kindly avoid budesal for toddlers below 6 years as it can lower immunity and other issues.
Kindly give him normal steam inhalation
And use tylenol nasal drops or any other saline drops 2drops each nostrils 3 times.
Incase of fever or rash use syrup zyrtec 2.5ml twice daily.
Next Steps
For more evaluation consult me on practo.
