Question
A nine-month-old child is experiencing nasal congestion and runny nose symptoms, and has been taking children’s yellow fever capsules for a week, but the symptoms have not improved. Parents are hoping to understand what better treatment methods are available.
Answer
Pharyngitis is usually caused by bacterial or viral infection of the pharynx, leading to regional inflammation and a series of symptoms such as throat dryness, pain, sensation of foreign body, slight cough without phlegm, or a small amount of mucus. Severe coughing may cause dry heaves. It is recommended to pay attention to work and rest balance, maintain good living habits, and avoid catching a cold again to worsen the condition. Eat easily digestible foods to prevent constipation. Avoid smoking, alcohol, spicy, cold or hot irritating foods. Pay attention to oral hygiene and develop the habit of rinsing the mouth after meals to reduce bacterial growth. Drink plenty of water. If symptoms are severe, please return for consultation promptly.
