Patient's question:
My child has been having a runny nose and tearing eyes for more than five months, with purple eyelids. How should I handle it? There is also mild fever, slight cough, and night waking. Sometimes, they suddenly start crying loudly after falling asleep.Doctor's answer:
According to the parent's account, the child has a runny nose and tearing eyes, suggesting the possibility of a cold. The fever and mild cough indicate the child is contagious. Nighttime crying is a sign that the child is uncomfortable after falling ill. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a complete blood count examination to determine whether it is a viral or bacterial infection. After confirmation, appropriate treatment should be administered. Avoid self-treatment blindly to prevent harming the child's body.
