Question
What medication should be used for a child’s nasal congestion at night and yellow phlegm in the morning?
Answer
The current situation may be indicative of a respiratory infection. It is recommended to engage in physical exercise to strengthen the child’s constitution and respiratory resistance. Start by allowing the child to sleep with the window open, letting them breathe in cooler, fresher air, and gradually transition to outdoor activities and sunbathing. Additionally, ensure the child receives adequate nutrients, especially zinc and vitamin A, to boost their immunity. Moreover, regular vaccination against diseases like measles and pertussis can effectively prevent such respiratory infectious diseases.
