4-year-old child has a stuffy nose due to a cold

A 4-year-old child with a blocked nose due to a cold may have a bacterial cold, a viral cold, or a cold. The treatment plan will be different depending on the cause.

1. Bacterial cold: It is usually caused by infection with Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus, which can easily cause children to have nasal congestion and runny nose, accompanied by various symptoms such as yellow nasal discharge. Cefixime, pediatric acetaminophen granules and ibuprofen can be used for treatment, which have anti-inflammatory, anti-cold and antipyretic effects, and help relieve various physical discomforts.

2. Viral colds: Most of them are caused by infection with hemorrhagic virus or sars virus and other reasons, which can easily reduce the child's immunity, thus inducing colds, accompanied by frequent nasal congestion, sore limbs, lack of energy, and persistent high fever. Ribavirin and pediatric paracetamol tablets, as well as acetaminophen, can be used for treatment.

3. Colds: This is usually caused by improper warming measures that allow cold air to invade the body, which can easily lead to symptoms such as runny nose and nasal congestion. You can use Children's Cold Relief, Paracetamol and Phenylacetate Granules, and Isatis Root Granules.

You should strengthen nutritional supplements in your daily life to increase immunity and resistance. At the same time, you should strengthen your own warming measures to avoid catching cold and aggravating the cold.
