If your child's symptoms have not improved after 2 days of treatment, it is important to consult your doctor or paediatrician again to reassess the diagnosis and treatment. The doctor may check for any secondary infection or adjust the medicines if needed. Continue to offer plenty of fluids and monitor temperature and breathing closely. Seek urgent medical care if there is a high fever, poor feeding, lethargy, rash, or difficulty breathing.

Since the runny nose has persisted for more than a week without improvement, it is advisable to consult a paediatrician to rule out an allergy or a possible secondary sinus infection. Do not continue decongestant drops like Coriminic without medical advice, as prolonged use may sometimes worsen nasal blockage. You can use saline nasal drops to gently clear mucus and provide comfort. Ensure your child stays well hydrated and gets adequate rest. Seek medical advice promptly if your child has a fever, a persistent cough, or worsening symptoms.
