Question
The 6-year-old child has a lot of yellow, thick nasal discharge and eye mucus, which is even sticky. What should be done? What medication should be taken? How was the previous treatment and what was the effect? What kind of help is needed?
Answer
If the child only has a runny nose without other symptoms, it may be caused by indigestion. If accompanied by coughing or fever and other symptoms, it may be a fever. Typically, a cold with yellow nasal discharge requires medication for wind-heat type colds. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a trace element test to determine the type of fever and treat accordingly. It is also advisable to remind the child to drink more water and eat more fruit regularly.
