Patient's question:
The child is three years old, and there has always been a red and swollen area in the right nasal cavity. When taking naps in the evening, they experience nasal congestion. If they catch a cold, there's a bit of congestion on the left side, but it's much worse on the right. Even when they don't have a cold, the nasal congestion on the right side is still quite noticeable. What could be causing this?Doctor's answer:
Consider this situation may be due to local inflammation in the nasal cavity. You can apply erythromycin ointment for topical use to see if it has any effect. At the same time, do not let the child eat grilled meat or puffed food, and pay attention to drinking more water. When going outdoors, it is best to wear a mask to prevent wind and cold attacks. If the child is not allergic to penicillin, they can take amoxicillin capsules to see if it has any effect. Wishing the child a speedy recovery.
