The child is 14 years old and has rhinitis. They often clear their throat and cough when it gets severe.

Patient's question:

Nasal congestion, clear throat, cough

Doctor's answer:

The main traditional Chinese medicine treatments for pharyngitis are herbs that clear heat, eliminate toxicity, and soothe the throat. These herbs can alleviate symptoms of general and initial pharyngitis, but for chronic pharyngitis, some antibiotics are still necessary. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for treatment and do not self-medicate to avoid delaying the condition.
