Question
My child has been constantly sneezing for three months now, and the vaccine hasn’t been administered yet. What should I do?
Answer
If the child is simply experiencing a runny nose with no other symptoms, it may be due to a cold. However, if coughing or fever is also present, it could indicate a fever. Typically, for a runny nose caused by a cold, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication for treating wind-heat type symptoms is recommended. It is suggested to take the child to the hospital for a trace element test to determine the cause and then treat accordingly. It’s also important to ensure the child drinks plenty of water and eats more fruit.
