Is it inflammation if there is snot in the baby's nose?

Patient's question:

The child was born only a few days ago, and recently, for some reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. Is it inflammation if there is nasal mucus in the baby's nose?

Doctor's answer:

Your condition may be chronic rhinitis, which is a chronic inflammation of the nasal mucosa and the underlying submucosal layer. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is referred to as biyuan and can be treated with Cang'erzi San or traditional Chinese medicine. It is considered to be caused by a cold, so it is recommended that you give your child Xiao'er Ganmao Ling, ibuprofen suspension, cefixime, and Qingkailing Granules for treatment. If the fever persists, you can try alcohol bathing for relief.
