Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Evaluation: Rinse nasal passages with saline and keep well hydrated. Monitor for fever and if you have prolonged cough > 3 weeks or chest discomfort, please see a physician. Most likely you had a viral illness which is lingering, but will resolve with a little bit more time.
