Patient's question:

The child has only been born for a few days, and recently, for some reason, they keep scratching their ears. How should I treat a four-year-old child who constantly has thick nasal discharge?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, it is likely sinusitis. You can undergo a CT scan or X-ray to confirm the diagnosis. For sinusitis, treatment options include anti-inflammatory medications, puncture, surgery, etc. Mild sinusitis can be treated with antibiotics such as azithromycin, cephalosporins, metronidazole tablets, Huo Dan pills, etc. It is essential to be in good health before receiving any vaccination. Runny nose is just a symptom, indicating that the baby is not feeling well. Wait until the baby has fully recovered before getting vaccinated to avoid worsening the condition.
