Patient's question:
Patient: Male, 7 years old, previously in good health.Current condition:
1. One week ago, a scratchy throat developed, followed by coughing, which was dry and without phlegm.
2. The cough was intermittent, with mild daytime symptoms and worsening at night.
3. This morning, nasal congestion was present, the cough became productive with phlegm, and there was also nosebleeding.
Doctor's answer:
It may be caused by pharyngitis. Locally, you can apply compound iodine glycerin, a 5% silver nitrate solution, or a 10% weak silver protein solution to the throat. Oral antibiotics, vitamins A, B2, C, and E can also be used for treatment. Avoid prolonged and excessive voice use, and avoid exposure to allergens that cause chronic allergic pharyngitis.Children's ear, nose, and throat diseases can cause significant harm to patients. It is recommended that patients seek timely treatment from a specialized clinic under the guidance of a doctor. Daily exercise is appropriate, but be mindful of preventing "internal heat" (excess heat in the body). We hope the child can recover quickly!
