My 5 and a half year old son has a congested nose. The fever has gone down, but the stuffy nose is bothering him a lot. What can I give him?

For a 5 and a half-year-old child with a congested nose, over-the-counter nasal solutions like Salinex, Hydrasense, or Sinus Rinse are recommended. Avoid decongestant sprays like Drixoral/Dristan as they can irritate the nose. Cough syrups with dextromethorphan should also be avoided for young children. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to reach out to a pharmacist for advice.
