In the uSA studies found that medications used for cough/cold symptoms offer little if anything under age six. They have not been favored for decades. A vigorous nasal cleanout with saline nose wash helps these kids. This site does not offer scripts/notes/referral documents or other forms of direct care.

Dry nose- baby: You can apply saline solution, clean nose with Vaseline ointment to clear boogers and try OTC Claritin liquid - half teaspoon once at night. If condition worsens, please consult with your pediatrician.
