my 4 year old daughter is sneezing and has a lot of drainage (all of the mucus is clear) which is causing her to choke and cough in her sleep, I gave her Children s Triaminic a few hours ago after a hot bath, but she doesn t seem any better. Now she is complaining that her stomach hurts in between sobs about her nose and the mucus. I m not sure if there is anything else I can do or if I should just keep holding her, wiping her nose and give her more medicine when its time
Hello, Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in child Chat Doctor.  For cold, you can use anti-allergic like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do.

For nasal block, plain saline nasal
