Patient's question:
The baby has a runny nose for several days. During this period, they have been taking Xiao'er Fen Huang Na Min Granules. Today, the doctor at the children's hospital prescribed Xin Ling Granules, Qing Re Gan Mai Granules, and Ribavirin. I'm not sure if the baby can take these medications.Doctor's answer:
The reasons for running a nose may be considered as acute upper respiratory tract infection. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a systematic and thorough examination to identify the cause and provide timely symptomatic treatment. If it is acute upper respiratory tract infection, oral medications such as pediatric paracetamol and sodium benzoate granules and Qingkailing granules can be taken. However, if the following conditions occur again, careful examination should be paid attention to: long-term discharge of purulent yellow-green nasal mucus, which may indicate sinusitis. If an object is inserted into the nostril, the child may also experience nasal congestion, difficulty breathing, and restlessness. Medications can be taken according to the doctor's advice.
