Patient's question:
Seven-year-old boy, recently often having nosebleeds, basically every day. In the middle of the night while sleeping, he unknowingly starts bleeding. It's been a week, and now he's coughing and has started saying his throat hurts. What's going on? What medicine should he take?Doctor's answer:
Children may experience coughing, runny nose, and nosebleeds again due to upper respiratory tract infection, sinusitis, or a lack of trace elements. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a doctor to diagnose the condition based on the symptoms. Blood tests such as complete blood count and C-reactive protein can be conducted. Anti-inflammatory and cold medications may be used if necessary. Avoid spicy and fried foods, drink more hot water, and maintain a positive mood, which can boost the immune system. Rest more, conserve your energy for recovery, and prevent many complications. Reduce daily exercise to avoid overexertion.
