[|Human|] Hi, my 3.5 year old son has a cough and is all stuffed up. He sounds like he is snoring all night when he gets this way and he can t seem to blow his nose. IT is June, (weather is not summer like, been up and down) could it be allergies or does he actually have a cold? His nose was running at first before this, now its not, he is all stuffed.
[|AI|]  Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have symptoms of cough and stuffed nose which is due to severe upper respiratory tract infection. The infection is probably a strep throat. Need not worry. I would suggest you to start with course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.  I would suggest you to consult pediatrician once without any delay. Doctor may order blood test and throat swab test. You should get an x-ray of the chest. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics amoxicillin at least for 10 days along with bucolic agents. Go for complete blood count. You should avoid hot, sharp and spicy foods. For now do warm saline rinses, take rest. Avoid giving cold beverages. You should take mast cell stabilizers to prevent from infection. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
