Question
After five months of medication and multiple medical consultations, the child’s main symptoms include hiccups, chills, and purulent nasal discharge, common nasal congestion, and frequent complaints of nasal pain. A previous doctor diagnosed it as allergic rhinitis, but the medication treatment did not show improvement.
Answer
The child’s symptoms require careful examination to make an accurate diagnosis and treatment. It is suspected to be allergic rhinitis or sinusitis, and it is recommended to visit an otolaryngologist for a follow-up examination. The doctor should thoroughly examine the nasal cavity and sinus condition, inquire about the medical history and symptoms, and provide appropriate treatment after diagnosis. As diagnosis requires the exclusion of other diseases, it is not recommended to use medication without purpose, especially for children. Wishing for a quick recovery!
