Suggest treatment for sneezing and blocked nose in a child
Patient: Hi, my 7 year old daughter was sneezing heavily about a week ago followed by blocked nose and is now complaining of dizziness, sore tummy and has tiny red spots on her chest. Also has a cough which was treated with puffers about 2 weeks ago. No fever at present but looks fatigued. Any thoughts on what could be the cause? Thanks. Doctor: Hi, the condition explained by you tells that the child has giddiness, pain abdomen, URI few days back and red rashes over the trunk. And the child is fatigued.if you stay in a Dengue endemic zone, get a platelet count asap and consult a physician.Dont give self prescribed anti inflammatory to the child(NSAID).continuously hydrate the child with ORS or any other fluid.Tab levocetrizine and a Nasal drop will help for sneezing and blocked nose.
