Question: Does the child have a severe runny nose, and it is unclear whether it is due to a cold or is it an allergy? The doctor prescribed Rinostop, but the drug turned out to be a syrup for internal use... Can I combine it with Nazivin?

Answer: Rinostop is a combination drug that contains paracetamol, pseudoephedrine, chlorphenamine. It has antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, vasoconstrictor, antihistamine, sedative, bronchodilating properties and relieves symptoms of acute respiratory viral infections and influenza well, can be used for allergic reactions... It makes no sense to combine syrup and Nazivin, since among the indications for Rinostop there is allergic rhinitis(the drug acts on the mucous membranes of the nose and fights their swelling). It will be advisable to resort to drops if the allergic nature of the common cold is confirmed. Then giving the child a complex remedy is pointless, since you can get by with drops and an antihistamine (after agreement with the doctor).
