Question
My child is 1 year and 3 months old and has been constantly sneezing with clear nasal discharge recently. Initially, I thought it was a cold and gave them cold medicine, but there was no improvement. After examination, it was diagnosed as allergic rhinitis. I would like to know the treatment methods.
Answer
When children are exposed to cold air, they may experience symptoms of sneezing due to allergies, which are usually more pronounced in the morning. If the nasal discharge is clear, it may be caused by allergies; if it is yellow, it may be due to a viral infection. For allergic rhinitis caused by a common cold, it is recommended to take drugs such as Sangjiao Cold Tablets, Children’s Cold Syrups, Platycodon Root Extract Syrups, Yinyao Jiedu, Liushen Pills, and Vitamin C.
