Nasal saline/mist: It is important to determine if your son has allergies or an upper respiratory infection, or both. Congestion is a common finding in both illnesses. Allergic nasal congestion tends to be watery, associated with sneezing and itching. Flu like symptoms include sore throat and fever. Use an antihistamine with pediatric formulation and dosing for allergies. Avoidance of dust, mold, pollen, smoke.
