Patient's question:
Coughed for two weeks, throat inflammation, high fever for three days. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Infusion for four days, taking anti-inflammatory drugs, doing atomization and microwave. What kind of assistance is needed: The condition keeps fluctuating, slight cough, throat inflammation...Doctor's answer:
Based on these symptoms of the child, it is preliminarily suspected that the child may have a high possibility of suffering from sinusitis and pharyngitis! It is recommended to try saline nasal irrigation for the child. Using physiological saline to clean the nasal cavity, if you have a fixed-pressure spray nasal rinse device, it can bring the saline to the posterior nasal cavity and sinus areas, more completely and effectively cleaning the entire nasal cavity, promptly removing allergens and pathogenic bacteria from the nasal cavity, preventing them from accumulating and attacking the nasal mucosa, completely eliminating edema, quickly opening the sinus openings, and slowly flushing out the accumulated fluid from the sinuses, which is equivalent to slow drainage like a surgical procedure. This is a physical therapy, drug-free, safe, and non-invasive, but the effect may not be as fast as taking medication, and it will take longer. Patience is required, as it can continuously improve the self-detoxification function of the nasal cavity, allowing the child to respond independently when allergens enter the nasal cavity in the future. Regular maintenance can also help prevent recurrence.Pharyngitis Treatment: It is recommended to try Chinese herbal medicine treatment: Pharyngitis should be treated by a doctor based on the cause with targeted measures. Local symptomatic treatment can use Chinese patent medicines such as Liyanling, Caozhuanshan lozenges, and Bao'an powder, which can be taken together with tea: equal parts of honeysuckle, coptis, platycodon, and licorice, steeped in hot water and consumed frequently.
Qingyan Decoction: 50 grams each of dried plum meat, licorice, sandalwood root, ophiopogon, and platycodon, crushed and mixed evenly. Take 3 times a day, 15 grams each time, steeped in boiling water and consumed.
