Emergency room: If your son has nasal congestion, use nasal saline rinses. If he is having difficulty breathing and wheezing, he requires immediate care.

Hard to know: You get the most from this site when you provide detailed background information followed by a clear related question. The kids age, duration of problem, effect on feeding/play, are all factors that allow a better understanding of the issue. Room for a response is limited so data allows a focused response. You are welcome to start over. Posts are not linked so each needs to be complete.
