It is considered that it is due to a cold that leads to increased respiratory secretions. It is recommended to take anti-inflammatory and expectorant treatments, drink plenty of boiled water, eat light and easily digestible food, avoid spicy and irritating food, and pay attention to keeping warm. It is best to go to the ENT department of the hospital to check a lateral nasopharyngeal film or nasopharyngeal endoscopy to determine whether the adenoids are enlarged, and if so, the degree of hypertrophy. Milder cases of adenoids hypertrophy can be cured with medication, but more severe cases may require surgery. (Adenoids hypertrophy must be taken seriously. Long-term hypertrophy can cause brain hypoxia, affect the child's intellectual development, and cause abnormal facial development in children)

③Side-lying massage method: If you have left ear congestion, lie on your right side; if you have right nasal congestion, lie on your left side. Use two fingers to pinch your nose and massage the Yingxiang points on both sides for 1 to 2 minutes. The nasal congestion can be removed.
