Children with colds and nasal congestion can use normal saline to rinse the nasal cavity, which can clear nasal secretions and maintain nasal patency. Then, under the guidance of a physician, cold medications such as Pediatric Ammonium Chloride and Promethazine Granules can be used for treatment. If nasal congestion is severe, decongestants such as ephedrine hydrochloride nasal drops or furamidine nasal drops may be used in combination.
