Question
My 5-year-old has a bit of a runny nose today, and after waking up in the afternoon, there’s always eye discharge. What’s going on? Previous treatment and effects: none. What kind of help do I need? My child has a runny nose and constant eye discharge. Is this a sign of a cold?
Answer
Judging from the description, your child has a runny nose today and eye discharge, and you want to know what’s causing it. Considering your child may have a cold, it’s possible there’s an upper respiratory infection, which is commonly referred to as a cold. I suggest giving your child some children’s fever-reducing medicine or adopting some physical methods to lower body temperature. Make sure to encourage your child to drink plenty of water and stay warm. If the situation does not improve, it is recommended to visit a professional children’s hospital for a check-up.
