Question
What’s causing my 8-year-5-month-old baby’s yellow nasal discharge?
Answer
On October 11th, when the baby had a high fever, runny nose, and hiccups, it was a viral infection. The recurrence of yellow nasal discharge later on indicates a secondary neuron bacterial infection. Not taking medication or suppressing the disease progression could lead to severe conditions such as bronchopneumonia or heart failure. Guidance: It is recommended to take some anti-inflammatory drugs such as amoxicillin or cefaclor granules, or cefixime granules, along with some traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying, such as pediatric lung-cleansing granules. It is also acceptable to use carrot and pear water together to moisten the lungs and relieve phlegm.
