Colds (with symptoms of blocked nose) in children don’t usually have serious complications but they can cause stress and worry in parents and caregivers. It’s understandable that you might want to give your child medicine to treat a cold. But most children will get better on their own.

Nasal decongestants help to relieve a blocked nose. It reduces the size of the blood vessels in the nose and sinuses helping you to breathe more easily. For children under age 12, decongestants might ease the common cold symptoms of a blocked or running nose, but these medications may not be safe for this age group. It can have serious side effects, such as slowed breathing, which can be life-threatening

Ways to treat Cold in Infants
- A cool mist humidifier (this makes breathing easier by decreasing congestion in nasal passages)

- Acetaminophen or ibuprofen (can be used to reduce fever, aches, and pain)

- Encourage children to drink plenty of liquids to stay hydrated.

Please speak to your doctor or pharmacist for any other concerns you have
