Hi,my son had his tonsils and adenoids 4 days ago.i was giving ice cream and ice poles to help his tonsils ,but I am afraid it was not being good for his rhinitis .He starts his cough at night ,2 days ago,and during the day too.My question is,is it ok to give him nasonex to help his rhinitis ? I am giving clarytine (started yesterday).I am afraid the cough gets worst and have trouble in regards bleeding .
Some child Chat Doctor.  In many such cases, tonsils get enlarged. Generally such infections are associated with an allergic component and since Clarity (Loratadine) is an antiallergic, the child will get some relief. Alone (Mometasone Furnace) is a mild grade steroid which helps in reducing the nasal congestion associated with such infections. Both of these medicines are both safe and effective and can be given to a child suffering from such infections. I would suggest you to give the child steam inhalation. Water in the form of vapor will reach deep into the sinus cavities and lungs and help in diluting the cough and will help in resolving the complaints, and it would be unlikely to become worse.
