What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Your child has been experiencing yellow nasal discharge for over a month, and despite taking many medications, it hasn't improved. Recently, they have also been experiencing constipation. Based on your description of the symptoms, it is likely that your child has a generally weak constitution, with internal heat and yin deficiency leading to symptoms such as constipation and yellow nasal discharge.
I recommend taking Children's Rhinitis Tablets orally to dispel wind and clear heat, which is used for chronic rhinitis in children.
At the same time, take Xuan Mai Gan Jie Granules orally to clear heat, nourish yin, expel phlegm, and soothe the throat. This is suitable for yin deficiency and excess fire, with floating, dry mouth and nose, and sore throat.
Pay attention to your child's rest, drink plenty of water, eat a light diet, avoid spicy, greasy, and irritating foods, and consume more fruits and vegetables to prevent overexertion.
