Rest and fluids: Sounds sick.  I don't know the age of the child, but in general kids get sick.  If the child is generally healthy, just rest, drink fluids and blow nose.  If child gets a fever (over 101') then call the pediatrician.  Also call the child's dr. If kid becomes very lethargic or if you are worried.  With kids we err on the side of safety.
