Question
My daughter, who is 12 years old and in good health, has had nasal congestion and runny nose at night for a year. She also loves sneezing upon waking up and sometimes experiences itching in the nose.
Answer
Your symptoms are caused by sinusitis leading to nasal discharge and congestion. The most common treatments for nasal inflammation are medication and surgery. To prevent colds and reduce the likelihood of nasal inflammation, try to keep your child away from cold weather. Nasal inflammation cannot be cured, but it is prone to recurring. In addition to medication and surgery, I recommend trying the saltwater nasal irrigation method. This method does not require medication and is suitable for children’s ear, nose, and throat diseases. It is advisable for your child to drink more water and pay attention to their dietary issues. I hope your child can recover quickly!
