Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Nasal saline: Nasal saline and gentle suction may relieve post nasal drip. Cool mist humidification and providing fluids are helpful. There are children's cough syrups with honey which may provide relief for irritation of the throat. Monitor temperature and please follow up with your PCP.
