Q: my 18 months old son has fever and blocked nose what can i use as it's been 4 days?

: Over the Counter cold medications should not be used in children under 6. Best method to help with blocked nose is to use saline drops/mucus extractor prior to feeding. Infant Tylenol drops can be used for fever, but be sure to follow dosing instructions exactly as written on the bottle.
