What to Do When a Child Has a Mild Runny Nose

Question

My child has a slight runny nose, not severe, but with some nasal congestion. They sweat a lot during their afternoon nap, and their clothes and bedding are soaked. I’ve given them half a packet of Platycodon granule mixture, three times a day, and it’s almost been two days.

Answer

Platycodon has the effect of preventing colds. The child currently has symptoms of nasal congestion and runny nose, which may be due to catching a cold from the cold. You can first try taking Platycodon to see if the situation improves. If the symptoms do not improve, consider changing medication. If the symptoms improve, you can take oral Xikai.
