Question
My son has been constantly sneezing out white, sticky mucus, and the traditional Chinese medicine treatment hasn’t seen any improvement. Apart from being stuffy during his afternoon nap, are there any good ways to cure it? The past treatment and its effects were: The child initially had a fever, and then the doctor said it was chronic rhinitis. I’m concerned about what methods can be used to cure it?
Answer
Based on the condition, I consider that your child may have been caused by a fever due to a cold. Fever is one of the most common diseases in children. A common cold in children is a very ordinary minor illness, but it should not be taken lightly. If treatment is not timely or inappropriate, it often leads to many complications such as sinusitis, stomatitis, laryngitis, otitis media, and lymphadenitis. An important aspect of home care is to ensure that the child gets adequate rest. The younger the child, the more rest they need, and only after symptoms disappear can they fully resume their activities. If there are any issues, please consult promptly. Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
