Question
The child has an upper respiratory tract infection, with a rasping sound in the nose that is not easily cleared, and snoring during sleep, especially at night. After taking nasal inflammation relief granules for two days, the nasal congestion has improved and the snoring sound has disappeared. However, there is still some snoring during sleep. How long should the medication be taken, as the child no longer has cold symptoms.
Answer
In this case, it is recommended to use cold and anti-inflammatory drugs together. The nasal inflammation relief granules mainly have the effect of dispersing wind and guiding heat, suitable for treating chronic nasal inflammation. For the child’s condition, it is suggested to take lotus clear-heat granules and to use cefuroxime axetil tablets at the same time. It is also advised to have a light diet and to encourage the child to drink more water to enhance resistance. Dress the child appropriately for the season, avoiding excessive or thick clothing.
