A member asked:

Is it ok for my 3 yr old to have ice blocks in the middle of summer when she has a common cold runny nose and sneezing?

Ice block: Yes she can play with an ice block.Her running nose and sneezing may be an actual allergy.If symptoms continue try an antihistamine like claritin (loratadine).
