Question
One week ago, the patient experienced an itchy throat with coughing without phlegm, which was more severe at night. This morning, the condition worsened with a heavy nasal sound, coughing with phlegm, and accompanied by nosebleeds. What appropriate treatment methods should be considered?
Answer
It is recommended that the patient seek timely consultation with an otorhinolaryngology specialist for professional diagnosis and treatment. In terms of treatment, regional drug therapy can be adopted, such as applying compound iodine glycerin, 5% silver nitrate solution, or 10% weak protein silver solution to the throat, supplemented by oral antibiotics, vitamins A, B2, C, E, and other medications. At the same time, it is important to avoid excessive vocal use for a long time and to avoid contact with allergens that may lead to chronic allergic pharyngitis. In daily life, attention should be paid to preventing fire (heat) to help the child recover quickly.
