Question
My baby often has a runny nose and nasal congestion. After the doctor diagnosed with pediatric nasal allergies, the treatment has not been effective. I want to know what treatment methods can be tried?
Answer
Firstly, you can use physiological saline to clean the nasal cavity to improve the clearing of bacteria within. If nasal congestion is severe, consider using sodium thiazoline nasal spray and taking oral medication. For cases with excessive mucus, nasal suction can be performed. If Western medicine treatment is ineffective, consider taking oral traditional Chinese medicine, such as the modified Xiang Er Zi powder. Additionally, in terms of diet, avoid fatty and sweet foods and maintain smooth bowel movements.
