Usually in children nose congestion is common and usually nothing other than saline nasal drops and simple anti cold syrups are given. Unless there is any infection in the eye, eye drops are not advisable
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
