How to treat a child with a stuffy nose due to heatstroke

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me how to treat a child with a stuffy nose due to heatstroke?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, you can use a warm towel or a nasal patch to relieve nasal congestion. It is recommended to give the baby more water and lie on their side for easier breathing. If it doesn't improve, you can take some cold medicine. If it's a cold caused by catching a chill, you can directly take the cold medicine without needing to take Huanglian Oral Liquid. Huanglian Oral Liquid is specifically for wind-heat colds, which are characterized by yellow nasal discharge, high fever, and severe throat pain and coughing. Eating more won't necessarily make it better faster. The human body has its own self-healing ability, and "medicines are poison in three parts." It's best to take as little as possible or not at all. If the cold is severe, follow the instructions on the packaging and take the medicine on time.
