How to deal with a 3.5-year-old child who always has a stuffy nose and runny nose?

Patient's question:

I have never had a fever.
Treatment history and effectiveness: I have taken cold medicine. What is going on with the child in this situation? Is it a fever or rhinitis? No matter what medicine is taken, it doesn't seem to work. Should we focus on taking medicine or wait and see after careful observation. Additionally, the child needs a dose of the A+C meningococcal vaccine, and should it be administered now or after recovery? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Suggest taking oral antiviral medication and fever-reducing herbal tea. Even with viral fever, secondary bacterial infections are common, so it's best to take antibiotics orally as well. If oral medication doesn't work, the advice is: it's better to receive intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment. Because intravenous medication has a higher blood concentration and takes effect faster and better. The above advice is for the question "A 3.5-year-old child always has a stuffy nose and runny nose." I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
