What should I do if my child initially has clear nasal discharge and then develops yellow nasal discharge?

Patient's question:

The child has had a clear runny nose for some time. This morning, when getting up, there was some yellow mucus.
Previous treatment and effectiveness: Cefixime and Sangju Cold Medicine Tablets
What kind of help is desired: Methods to help it get better

Doctor's answer:

First, the simple symptom of a runny nose in children cannot prove it is a cold, so it is not recommended to blindly give oral medication to the child. I don't know the child's age, but allergic rhinitis (such as exposure to cold air) can also cause the child to experience a runny nose again (usually with a longer duration). Therefore, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a thorough examination and confirmation before starting treatment.
