Question
Why does my four-year-old always have a runny nose?
Answer
Based on the symptoms you’ve described, it may be due to heat and wind-heat affecting the lung, leading to congestion of the nasal mucosa and resulting in nosebleeds. Treatment should focus on clearing heat and wind, and cooling the blood to stop bleeding. It is suggested to take herbs like Sangju and Yiqing soft capsules. Additionally, it’s recommended to apply cold compresses to the affected area immediately and consider taking hemostatic medications like Anluo Blood and Yunnan Baiyao capsules. Drinking plenty of water is also important. If the situation does not improve, it is advisable to consult an otorhinolaryngologist for a detailed examination and treatment.
