Follow this 1. Do saline gargles daily.
2. Whenever possible do steam inhalation also.
3. Cover your nose and mouth with hanky for at least 30 sec when you go in dusty areas also when you go in and out of ac. As our nose is the most sensitive part of our body, when there is temperature difference between two rooms or inside n outside, then if we not protect our nose, it gets affected.
4. Drink hot liquids --hot liquids relieve nasal congestion, prevent dehydration, and soothe the uncomfortably inflamed membranes that line your nose and throat. 5. Sleep with an extra pillow under your head-- elevating your head will help relieve congested nasal passages. If the angle is too awkward, try placing the pillows between the mattress and the box springs to create a more gradual slope.
6. Treat that stuffy nose with warm salt water-- salt-water rinsing helps break nasal congestion, while also removing virus particles and bacteria from your nose. 7. Blow your nose often (and the right way)-- it's important to blow your nose regularly when you have a cold rather than sniffling mucus back into your head. But when you blow hard, pressure can carry germ-carrying phlegm back into your ear passages, causing earache. The best way to blow your nose: press a finger over one nostril while you blow gently to clear the other.

Dear lybrate-user, please do not self medicate and consult a good ent specialist at the earliest. You have not given a proper medical history of your symptoms like do you sneeze often does watery fluid pass from your nose, do you have a blocked nose. What you need is a proper sino-nasal evaluation and throat evaluation. You also did not comment on whether you have cogh dry or associated with plhegm.

Drugs are usually not recommended during pregnancy especially the first 3-4 months because all drugs are not studied in detail for effects on the child.
Vikoryl can be taken if complaints are more.
'what is the risk to the foods if one dose of medicine is taken?- what do you mean? Ask again.
Kufril ls has levosalbutamol which is a broncodilator (needed if there is wheezing).
As the doctor has adviced only wikoryl af try giving the same. Child may not be requiring a bronchodilator as per doctors examination finding. Also doses will differ.
You should continue taking wikoryl. Rt pcr for covid will have to be done for the whole family. Keep calm, isolate yourself and take steam inhalation 2 times a day. Drink warm water and have a nutritious diet. If possible, get a pulse oximeter and check your oxygen saturation 3 times a day. The level should be above 95%. You can consult me privately also. I have made it free for a few days due to the 2nd wave of covid.
Hi lybrate-user, wikoryl is not recommended at this age. Use saline nasal drops for nasal block.
Other drops also not advisable if not indicated.
