Question
My child is 9 years old and has been experiencing frequent nasal congestion for the past month, with several episodes a day resulting in sticky green mucus. They occasionally sneeze and speak in a nasally voice. At night, they snore loudly and their throat makes a whistling sound. Sometimes they cough and wake up. What is going on, and what should we do for medical treatment?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, this condition is often caused by a cold or catching a chill. You can treat it with children’s pseudoephedrine drops or children’s acetaminophen paracetamol granules. If the symptoms are severe, it’s advisable to visit a pediatrician for examination and treatment. Make sure to drink plenty of water and take care of your body temperature.
