Patient's question:
My son has had a bit of nasal congestion every night when sleeping and in the morning for about ten days. Recently, he's had a slight cough, but it has become more severe starting today. He also feels a bit uncomfortable in his throat, likes to scream, and is irritable. I measured his temperature, which is 36.5. When the cough first started, I took him to the doctor, who said his lungs were a bit wheezing and prescribed some granular Western medicine, as well as Xiao'er Fei Yan San. But it hasn't been effective. Now he is taking Xiao'er An Fen Huang Na Granules and Fei Rè Píng Chuǎn Granules. I would like to ask how to treat and care for him.Doctor's answer:
Nasal congestion without a runny nose is actually because the mucus is too thick to flow out. This situation indicates that the rhinitis is quite severe. Rhinitis is caused by long-term inflammation in the nose, such as the worsening of a cold, or physiological factors like pregnancy, or mechanical changes in the nasal structure, such as a deviated septum. It is recommended to seek a thorough examination and treatment at a local hospital as soon as possible. Additionally, pay attention to protecting your nose and take preventive measures against colds.
