Hello. This is Dr Rubal Jain here. I would recommend giving proper home care to your child. Prescribing medicine without a quick check up is going to be difficult. Please start doing the following at home: 1. Plenty of fluids 2. Rest 3. Steam inhalation twice a day 4. Gargle with lukewarm water and a pinch of salt and if your child is too young for that then I would suggest give him warm fluids to drink 5. Plain saline nasal drops and aspiration 4-6 times a day
Next Steps
Give home care for another two days and wait and watch
