Doctor's answer:

The main considerations are fever, and secondarily, rhinitis. Recommendations: First, you can give the child many medications for treating fever, as well as drugs effective for rhinitis, to comprehensively evaluate the treatment. The main treatment is antiviral, as viral or bacterial infections can damage the mucous membranes, leading to symptoms like runny nose. Strictly speaking, it involves allergic symptoms, so you should also give the child many antiallergic medications, such as Compound Aminophenylamine Granules, which mainly contain rimantadine, chlorpheniramine, artificial gall, and paracetamol. These can effectively treat viral infections and allergies. Additionally, you should take medications for rhinitis, such as Biqushu and Tongqiao Rhinitis Tablets. Pay attention to keeping warm, drink plenty of water, and maintain personal hygiene.
