Question
What kind of anti-inflammatory medication should a child take for a runny nose?
Answer
Your child may have caught a cold. After a cold, it’s important to ensure rest and plenty of fluids, and to follow a light diet. If there is clear nasal discharge, general pediatric cold medications, such as pediatric cold granules, can be administered to alleviate symptoms. At the same time, you can also take traditional Chinese medicine antiviral drugs, such as Isatis root and Pueraria lobata oral liquid. If symptoms like fever and coughing occur, it may indicate a bacterial infection, and consideration should be given to using antibiotics.
