Monitor/hydration: The viral illness typically resolves within 10 days and COVID 19 should also be excluded. Avoid contact with others while she is ill. Nasal saline and gentle suction will remove nasal mucus and reduce post nasal drip. Use a cool air mist humidifier and keep her well hydrated. Watch for respiratory difficulty and prolonged cough.
