A member asked:

My 6 year son is having chest congestion what should i give him? he gets congestion frequently after one or two months what should i do?

Pediatrician: If he is otherwise healthy it may be allergies or reflux. Suggest you take him to see his pediatrician and bring with you a calendar of when he has been congested and all the symptoms.
