Congested nose: use salt water nose drop several times a day. Use a vaporizer especially during the night. Also elevate her mattress while sleeping. Use tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen for fever control

Symptomatic: Use saline to clear her nasal congestion. Give her a dose of acetaminophen. Keep her room cool and not too dry. Have her seen if she is in pain. All the best.

Cold: Use a cool mist vaporizer, saline nose spray, keep hydrated. Cough or cold medications as they do not work in young children and should not be used.
