Question
My two-year-old has been poking his nose for almost a month, occasionally with a bit of clear mucus, and recently he’s started spitting out saliva. He keeps poking his nose and mouth with his sleeve. Many doctors have said it’s just a common cold, and the medicine hasn’t helped. His face is all red and sore.
Answer
Based on your description, the redness of the cheeks is likely due to indigestion in the stomach; the clear nasal mucus may be caused by a viral cold. If the viral infection persists for a longer time, it indicates that the child’s immune system is relatively weak. It is recommended to take Ribavirin granules + Compound Paracetamol Amine granules + Baohuo Pill or granules. Maintain a light diet, avoid greasy, spicy foods, and sweets. Encourage your child to drink more plain water and engage in more physical activity to promote gastrointestinal motility.
