Question
What should be done when a three-year-old child has been suffering from a runny nose for about half a month?
Answer
In such cases, it may involve a pediatric upper respiratory infection, and incomplete treatment could lead to residual inflammation. It is recommended to undergo focused treatment, using medication for 3-5 days. Alternatively, using nasal drops containing antibiotics can treat the nasal cavity more directly and effectively. Among the medications you mentioned, cephalosporin drugs may be more symptomatic. At the same time, pay attention to drinking plenty of water and getting adequate rest to boost the child’s immunity. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you good health.
