Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. As you mentioned that the there is running nose, few days ago diagnosed as an eczema. In my opinion eczema and running nose is due to allergy and this is a precursor of asthmatic allergic bronchitis. Usually I have seen that that patient develops bronchoconstriction, cough, runny nose itching over face (mild) . All these symptoms are very common and in my opinion not a cause of concern. Only a potent bronchodilator Chat Doctor. I don't prescribe antibiotics to my patients. Only anti-allergic and bronchodilators are sufficient. In my opinion consult a physician and get a treatment. When your child will attain 14-15 years, he will get rid of these symptoms due to sex hormones. Good luck for your little one.
