Patient's question:
Can pediatric paracetamol and caffeine granules treat a 1-year-old child with a runny nose? The runny nose has lasted for several days. Previous treatment and effectiveness: He has no medical history... What kind of help do you want: Can this medicine treat a runny nose? Can it be taken?Doctor's answer:
The most common cause of a runny nose is infection, usually triggered by contact with a cold patient or exposure to cold. If it's clear nasal discharge, it suggests a mild cold—drink more water and wait and see. If it's yellow nasal discharge, it indicates a bacterial infection, and a blood test should be conducted for further examination. If the child has a poor allergy-prone constitution and the runny nose is caused by allergies, it's necessary to visit an ear, nose, and throat specialist to check for rhinitis.
