Dr. Lonnie Smith answered

Specializes in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

See your Peds: If cold symptoms persist see your Pediatrician, if this is a cold that is most likely viral and medication is not needed. You may want to keep your child's nose clear with saline drops and possible gentle suctioning with a nasal suction bulb.
