Doctor's answer:
If the child only has a runny nose without other symptoms, it should be caused by a stomachache. If accompanied by symptoms like coughing or fever, then it's a fever. Generally, for a runny nose with yellow mucus, cold medicine should be used for wind-heat type conditions. You should take the child to the hospital for a trace element test. Once the results are available, you'll know what type of fever it is, and then you can use medication that matches the symptoms. Pay attention to giving the child more water and more fruits.
