My son is seven years old now and has a stuffy nose with pus-like nasal discharge, and his tonsils have enlarged.

Patient's question:

Patient is male, seven years old, previously in good health
This condition:
Sore throat for a week, stuffy nose for two or three days, swollen tonsils today

Doctor's answer:

It may be caused by sinusitis. Medication treatment emphasizes the selection of sensitive antibiotics, with sufficient dosage and duration. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment focuses on dispersing wind and clearing heat, promoting aromatic ventilation, with detoxification and removing blood stasis as supplementary measures. Regular physical exercise should be strengthened to enhance immunity. Activities such as morning runs, swimming, cold showers, and cold face washing can improve physical fitness and increase the body's tolerance to cold.
