From the time my baby was 2 months old she has had problems with runny nose, watery itchy eyes and sneezing. She is now 8 months old and for the last month she has been on Zyrtec, which has helped a little but now as of yesterday the cotton is flowing really bad in my area and her nose is draining really bad, is there anything else I can do for her?
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in child Chat Doctor.  For cold, you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do.
