Patient's question:
The child has only been born for a few days, and recently, for some reason, they keep scratching their ears. I was wondering how to treat a child who has a "four seasons of a year" nose and constantly has a runny nose.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it might be chronic rhinitis. Chronic rhinitis is a chronic inflammation of the nasal mucosa and the underlying submucosal layer. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is known as biyuan and can be treated with Cang'erzi San or traditional Chinese medicine. The symptoms you described are considered pharyngitis, which falls under upper respiratory tract infections. Treatment primarily involves antibiotics, and intravenous medication can be considered. Alternatively, you can steep three to five honeysuckle fruits in water to drink, which is quite effective.
