How long does a child need to take medicine for an upper respiratory infection?

Patient's question:

The child has a respiratory infection that is contagious. There's a rattling sound in their nose, and they can't blow their nose or swallow it down. They even snore during naps. After taking Nasal Congestion Relief for two days, the nasal congestion has improved, and there's no more snoring with mucus. However, they still snore a little during naps. I'd like to ask how long the medication needs to be taken. The child's cold symptoms have also disappeared now.

Doctor's answer:

In this case, it is necessary to use cold medicine and anti-inflammatory drugs in coordination. Then, regarding the Nasal Dredging Granules, they primarily have the effect of dispelling wind and clearing heat. For children with chronic rhinitis, it is recommended to take Lianhua Qingwen Granules in combination with Cefixime Tablets. In daily diet, it is advisable to keep it light and hydrate the child more. Enhance cold resistance, appropriately adjust the child's clothing to avoid over-wearing or using excessively thick clothes.
