If the child only has a runny nose without other symptoms, it should be caused by a stomachache. If accompanied by symptoms like cough or fever, then it's a fever.Generally, for a runny nose with yellow mucus, you should take a cold medicine that targets wind-heat. It's best to take the child to the hospital for a trace element test. Once the results are available, you'll know what type of fever it is, and then you can take the appropriate medication.
Make sure to pay attention to giving the child more water and more fruits.
