Question
The child is 11 months old and has recently started to have yellow and thick nasal discharge. How should it be handled?
Answer
Based on the description, the child may be suffering from an upper respiratory infection. It is recommended to give the child cooling Chinese medicine, such as Isatis root, Chrysanthemum and honeysuckle, or honeysuckle, and encourage the child to drink more water. If there is a stuffy nose, a doctor can prescribe nasal drops to be administered into the nasal cavity 15 minutes before feeding, followed by using a nasal aspirator to clear out the saltwater and mucus from the nasal cavity. Nasal drops help thin out the thick mucus, making it easier to clear. Wishing the child a speedy recovery if cold symptoms appear.
