Question
The child has been suffering from yellow nasal discharge for over a month, with many medications failing to work, and recently experiencing dry stools. Previous treatment and effects: The child has taken medicine to clear the lungs and extinguish fire, but it has not worked. What kind of help do I need? What should I do?
Answer
Your child has been experiencing yellow nasal discharge for over a month, with numerous medications proving ineffective, and recently they have been suffering from dry stools. Based on the symptoms you’ve described, it’s possible that the child’s general physical condition is weak, with internal heat and yin deficiency leading to dry stools and yellow nasal discharge. I suggest administering the pediatric Nasalitis Tablets to disperse wind and clear heat. These are used to treat chronic rhinitis in children. Additionally, oral granules (Xuanmai Ganyu Granules) can clear heat, nourish yin, and relieve phlegm in the throat. These are used for yin deficiency with excessive fire, causing dryness in the mouth, nose, and throat, as well as swelling and pain in the throat. Pay attention to the child’s rest, ensure they drink plenty of water, eat a light diet, avoid spicy, greasy, and irritating foods, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid overexertion.
