Hou Lizhen, Department of Otolaryngology, Beijing Tongren Hospital: cold can cause poor nasal ventilation in young children, mostly with nasal discharge; long-term nasal congestion and open-mouth breathing in young children are mostly due to adenoid hypertrophy, and individual congenital nasal masses can also cause it. You should go to the hospital to confirm the cause of nasal congestion and treat the cause.
Patient: Thank you, doctor. My baby was diagnosed with adenoid hypertrophy, acute pharyngitis, and a slight inflammation of the paranasal sinuses. However, due to my lapse in care, my child caught a cold the day after he was discharged from the hospital, with a runny nose and a cough, I gave him Pediatric Sanjiu Cold & Flu Punch and Pediatric Shuangqing without success, so I took him to the hospital, where the doctor prescribed Cefaclor Suspension, Pediatric Anfenhuangamin, Pediatric Antiviral Oral Liquid, and Pediatric Sunflower Cough Granules. I was afraid that his nose would become inflamed again, so I gave him half a packet of nasal abdomen and orifice pellets, but I didn’t see any relief overnight. I am very anxious and worried!
Beijing Tongren Hospital ENT Hou Li Zhen: the natural course of the cold is about 1 week, pay attention to let the child drink more water, rest, the child is small, or less medication, the purpose of the medication is to relieve symptoms, prevent complications, and after the good must pay attention to good care. No and so on a larger child elective excision of hypertrophic adenoids, conducive to nasal ventilation and drainage, to reduce the occurrence of rhinitis sinusitis.
