Patient's question:
The child has never been very healthy since childhood and often gets sick. When not sick, they also frequently have a runny nose. It's unclear why, as the runny nose persists without fever or high fever, just the runny nose. It was thought to be sinusitis, and nasal decongestants were taken, but there hasn't been any improvement.What kind of assistance is needed: How to deal with the child's chronic runny nose?
Doctor's answer:
If the child's nostrils are always dripping with two lines of mucus or yellow-green pus-like nasal discharge throughout the day, it indicates a pathological condition. Long-term discharge of yellow-green pus-like mucus may suggest the presence of sinusitis. Frequent white nasal discharge could be due to a lack of vitamins A and B, and treating with these vitamins can be effective. Allergies to inhaled dust may cause a significant amount of clear nasal discharge in a short period. In very rare cases, children with foreign objects in their nasal passages may also frequently have nasal discharge.
