Patient's question:
Approximately once a month, he had a fever, and I gave him An Fen Huang Nai Granules. Each pack was divided into 4-5 doses. Later, because he had some diarrhea, I stopped giving him the medicine. His fever subsided somewhat, and he didn't need any other medication after that. Later, I noticed that his nose always had white, dry mucus, sometimes around the nostrils as well. I didn't see any wet mucus dripping out.Previous Treatment and Effects:
Sometimes, when he had a runny nose and hiccups, I gave him a little bit of Huang Nai.
Kind of Help Needed:
I want to know why he always has dry mucus and whether he might have sinusitis or something like that. Additionally, if he has a fever and a runny nose, what medicine would be best for his nose now? How should I handle his current condition? I hope experts can provide some detailed answers.
If you can't explain it clearly, please don't say anything so as not to mislead others or yourself.
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the issue you mentioned after the baby has runny nose is likely a mild case of rhinitis. It is recommended that you do the following: have the child lie face down and use a cotton swab dipped in saline to clean out the secretions in the baby's nose. After cleaning, apply a bit of erythromycin ointment, which should be quite effective. Generally, for fever and runny nose, taking Anfen Huangmin Granules should be sufficient.
