Why does a child have a runny nose after having a fever?

Children and the elderly who are physically weak are the groups most likely to have a fever. If the child is very young and has a fever, parents must pay great attention and closely monitor the baby's body temperature. If the temperature is too high, physical cooling measures must be taken in time, because a high fever can cause great harm to children. Some children will have a runny nose after having a high fever. Why is this?

Why does a child have a runny nose after having a fever?

Because babies are young and have low resistance, it is common for them to catch colds and fevers, so mothers always have some medicines for colds and fevers on hand. For example: Paracetamol Yellow Nanoparticles, Merlin Granules, etc.!

However, if the runny nose after a cold does not stop, or even the runny nose is yellow and lasts for a long time (15-25 days), taking acetaminophen yellow nanoparticles may not be effective. This is due to damp heat in the baby's body. My second baby also recently recovered from a cold, but he still has a runny nose and no medicine is effective. The child's nose is even scratched, and he doesn't let anyone touch his nose. He hides when he sees someone trying to wipe his nose. It makes me feel so sad!

This went on for half a month. I told my second baby's aunt about this, and she told me that the baby had damp heat and was not taking the right medicine. She told me that there are many kinds of cold medicines, and that this symptom should be treated with cold medicines that clear away heat and relieve symptoms. She asked my father to go to the drugstore to buy some for the baby. As a result, the baby was cured after taking it twice. It was not until then that I realized that a baby's cold cannot be cured by taking only one kind of cold medicine, but must be treated with the right medicine. Giving the baby too many inappropriate medicines will not only fail to cure the child's illness, but will also increase the burden on the child's kidneys.

The scientific name of cold is acute rhinitis, and its main symptoms include sneezing, clear runny nose, and nasal congestion. In severe cases, it may be accompanied by symptoms such as fever and headache. It is usually caused by viral infection, which is often combined with bacterial infection, causing clear nasal discharge to turn into yellow nasal discharge. Oral cephalosporins and amantadine can be used for anti-inflammatory and antiviral treatment, and the nasal cavity can be rinsed with normal saline daily. At the same time, drink more boiled water, sweat appropriately, avoid spicy food, and stay away from dusty environments.
