I remember my kids' pediatrican who was a good medical school graduate and whom I admired a lot pushed all kinds of cold med onto my kids. She said, for comfort! I didn't know any better then. These days, I use hot Ginseng tea with honey and lemon juice, orange juice, warm bath for fever unless there is an infection. By the way, for a stuffy nose, a bit of minty ointment - Vicks Vapor rub or similar product- under nose makes a sick child breath so much better and sleep. It lasts a long time unlike the inhaling kind. Do you know how many otherwise very intelligent and caring doctors are ignorant about this.
