3.5-year-old child with dry cough, runny nose, and nasal congestion - what is the issue?

Patient's question:

Started sneezing on February 28, 2013, visited the village health clinic. No improvement, then developed nighttime coughing. Later visited Zhangzhou City Hospital, received injections and took medicine, but still no better.

Doctor's answer:

It may be caused by a cold, requiring oral antibiotics, cold medicine, antiviral, and anti-allergic medications for treatment. If there is a fever, oral fever-reducing medications or physical cooling treatment may be necessary. There are many triggers that can affect the respiratory system in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in children and maintain a balanced diet.
