Patient's question:
My child is seven years old this year. Sometimes, he has a discharge every two or three months, and sometimes twice a month. It usually occurs at night and in the morning. The amount of discharge is not much, and it can be washed away. What could be the reason? I remember I had his blood tested two years ago. Do I still need to see a doctor now?Doctor's answer:
In this case, you can visit an otolaryngology department to check for a deviated septum. It could also be caused by dry air leading to skin peeling. It is recommended to get a complete blood count and coagulation function test. If there are no abnormalities, there should be no major issues. Currently, focus on rest and nutrition. Avoid spicy foods, drink plenty of water, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and exercise regularly. You can take rhinitis tablets, cefixime, and apply erythromycin ointment for treatment.
