For symptom relief, over-the-counter medications such as antihistamines or decongestants may help. However, it's not advisable to rely on these medications. Parents with children under five years old should check with a physician before giving their kids any medications. Be sure to take medications only as directed -- if the treatment doesn't alleviate the issue, supplement with other, safe home remedies rather than by taking more medicine than recommended.
