Question

My son has had a cold for several weeks now. He has been taking some medicine, but since the weekend, he’s been picking his nose a lot, and for the past two days, he’s been producing a lot of saliva. What’s going on?

Answer

Hello, the symptoms might be related to inflammation. It is advisable to consult a doctor for an examination. Treatment may include oral azithromycin and vitamin C. There are many causes of pediatric endocrine diseases. If your child is diagnosed with a pediatric endocrine disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, coordinate with gastrointestinal depressurize (decompression), and develop good hygiene habits. Your child should have a balanced diet and avoid irritating and cold foods.
