2-year-old runny/stuffy nose

My 2-year-old has had runny/stuffy nose for more than 2 weeks now. It started as a yellow-green discharge (not watery) and has not changed. He breathes through his mouth and wakes up at night with a dry throat. He also started coughing. Can you recommend what to give him?

Nash compares these remedies beautifully.

*******************

STICTA PULMONARIA.

Heavy full feeling, and pain and pressure forehead and root of the nose > by discharge.

Secretions in the nose dry up and form crusts; constant inclination to blow the nose, without result, on account of the excessive dryness.

Dry night cough; can't sleep or lie down; must sit up; cough after measles (Coff.).

* * * * *

This remedy, although never anywhere fully proven, has come to be a very useful one. In acute catarrh it is one of the best.

Its characteristic symptom here is heavy pain and pressure in the forehead and root of the nose. This is in the beginning of a cold; when the nose begins to discharge freely the pain ceases or becomes much less. It is also a great value in the form of nasal catarrh, if when the discharges dry up there is this same pain in forehead and frontal sinuses. In these cases the nasal secretions incline to dry up and are hard to discharge, but the irritation is so great that there is a constant inclination to blow the nose, with little result. These secretions become so hard and dry as to form scabby concretions. This condition is next door to the plugs and clinkers of Kali bichromicum, which often go on to ulceration of the septum. I have relieved many cases of chronic catarrh with Sticta; some of years' standing.

You will remember that kali bichromicum also has a severe frontal headache at the root of the nose, especially from suppressed catarrh, so that all the other symptoms must be considered in choosing between them. The other remedies that resemble Sticta in the acute form of catarrh are Aconite, Ammonium carb., Camphor, Nux vomica and Sambucus, and in the chronic form Ammonium carb. and Lycopodium.

There is never with Sticta the watery or fluent form of coryza, such as calls for Euphrasia, Mercurius, Arsenicum and Kali hydroiodicum. Nor have I ever found it of use in the thick, bland kind of discharge that calls for Pulsatilla, Sepia and Kali sulphuricum. Sticta is also one of our cough remedies and one of the best indications for its use, especially in acute cough, is the aforementioned nasal catarrh attending it. The Sticta cough is also worse at night when lying down and keeps the patient awake, though I do not think the wakefulness is entirely owing to the cough, but that a nervous condition which also comes under the curative range of Sticta contributes to it.

mr murthy please give your remarks please.

If the discharge is thick, almost dry, difficult to detach,and if there is pain in the sinus area, I will go for Sticta first.

If the discharge is thick, but neverthless free flowing, and if the sinuses are not involved I will suggest Puls first.

Mr Murphy, how would I know whether the sinuses are involved? The discharge is think, but still free flowing, and it forms a crust around his nostrils.

My 2-year old got the same nasal discharge - yellow-greenish with a cough.
The nasal discharge is thick and very often stays around the nostrils, but does not form a crust. This lasts throughout the day. He got a cough last night - a dry one - starts right after he falls asleep and lasts thru the night. We tried Pulsatilla before, but it did not help. Please, advise what I should give him. Shall we try Sticta Pulmonaria 6c, and if so how much and for how long. Thank you!
