Dr. Amrita Dosanjh answered

Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Fluids/M.D visit: If your child has nasal congestion it may be causing post nasal drip. If he has trouble swallowing, there may be a throat or airway infection. Fluids, nasal saline and a humidifier may help relieve his symptoms. It is advisable to see your pediatrician.
