The baby is shivering with yellow nasal discharge. After taking Xiao'er Guqiao Granules for 1.5 days, they still burp up yellow nasal discharge. How long will it take for it to be effective? Is this medicine helpful? The feeling of a stuffy nose has improved, and the nasal discharge is still there.Doctor's answer:
Your child's condition exhibits typical symptoms of an upper respiratory infection. Influenza has been quite prevalent recently, usually caused by the influenza virus, which can lead to symptoms such as cough, phlegm production, runny nose, fever, and headache. Currently, your child's condition requires active medication to address the symptoms.I recommend that you pay attention to rest, provide plenty of fluids, and take precautions against colds. It is advisable for your child to take medications such as azithromycin granules, pediatric paracetamol and chuanxindan tablets, and antiviral oral liquid to alleviate the symptoms. Generally, a course of medication is needed for about five days. If there is a fever, use Meilin granules to reduce the temperature. Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
