My child 3yrs 9mnth old has severe nosal block observed from yesterday. He doesn't have cold but nosal block completely during sleep. Used pediatric nosal drop but doesn't work. What could be the reason? He is having fever as well from yesterday
Nasal congestion is early sign of cold and flue like illness
Frequent normal saline nasal drops, give anti histamine medications, hot water steam with supervision, paracetamol for fever,
Avoid allergen like smoke, strong smelling, spray,
Complete rest
No school
He will be all right in 3-4 days
If he will develop
Coughing, high grade fever, irritation
Visit your Pediatrician

Keep him hydrated.
