Question

What should be done for a child with abnormal eyes and a runny nose?

Answer

For children experiencing abnormal eyesight and a runny nose, common causes are bacterial or viral infections, with bacterial infections being more frequent. The pathogens involved mainly include Streptococcus hemolyticus, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Treatment typically involves the use of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medications, such as amoxicillin-based antibiotics. However, this localized treatment method can only control the inflammation but cannot completely eliminate the bacteria within the tonsillar crypts, leading to recurrent symptoms. In the long term, this may result in chronic diseases that affect health. I hope these suggestions can help you. Wishing you and your child good health!
