Question
My daughter is 5 years old and has been suffering from a cold for 15 days. After treatment, the cold symptoms have disappeared, but she still has a runny nose every day. She has a lot of mucus when she sneezes and often blows her nose. She says it itches. She also has a cough and there are small pus spots on her tonsils, which are constantly protruding, indicating enlargement. She is in good spirits with no fever, but these symptoms have appeared. I bought Xinning Granules today and am not sure if she can take them. Please advise based on the above symptoms, what disease my daughter may have contracted? How should the medication be administered?
Answer
Based on the above symptoms, the child may have sinusitis or tonsillitis. If there are two lines of mucus hanging from the nostrils all day or if there is yellowish-green purulent mucus discharged, it is a pathological manifestation. If there is long-term discharge of purulent yellowish-green mucus, it may indicate sinusitis. If there is a lack of vitamin A and vitamin B, it may result in frequent discharge of clear mucus. Allergic reactions to inhaled dust can cause a large amount of clear mucus to be discharged in a short time. If there is a foreign body in the nasal cavity, it can also cause frequent mucus discharge. It is recommended to consult a doctor for diagnosis and to use medication under the guidance of a doctor, such as Xinning Granules. Pay attention to observe any changes in the child’s symptoms and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.
