Yellow runny nose after cold in children

The probability of colds occurring in our lives is very frequent. Both the elderly and children may catch a cold. Although this disease is not very harmful, it will make us feel weak and uncomfortable, and may also cause sneezing, runny nose, and coughing. Children usually have a fever after catching a cold. So why do children have a runny nose after catching a cold?

Consider the possibility of pediatric sinusitis. If there is a lot of nasal mucus, use physiological seawater nasal spray to rinse the nasal cavity; if the patient is over two years old, use Nasonex nasal spray; take oral sinusitis oral solution and Mucosolvan. If the effect is not good, go to your local ENT doctor.

A common cold usually heals in 7 days. If your nose is blocked for such a long time, you may have rhinitis. You can use Rhinitis Relief Oral Liquid (Chinese medicine). It is best to go to a regular hospital's ENT department to see a doctor to understand your baby's specific situation and get a clear diagnosis.

1. What is the difference between yellow snot and clear snot in children?

To answer this question, we must first understand the normal transmission pathways of colds. Generally, it starts with wind-cold invading the body surface, and symptoms of a wind-cold cold appear, mainly clear runny nose, mild fever, severe chills, no sweating, headache and body aches, cough, no redness or swelling of the throat, pale red tongue, and a floating and tight pulse. As the disease worsens, the body's resistance decreases, and the disease begins to spread from the outside to the inside, first entering the half-surface and half-interior, and finally completely entering the interior and turning into heat. The symptoms at this time are mainly runny yellow nose, severe fever, mild chills, sweating or little sweating, headache and nasal congestion, sore throat, red tongue, and rapid pulse (i.e., fast pulse).

The whole process is the body fighting against the pathogenic factors, the body temperature gradually rises, and eventually it turns into a fever. This is the natural development process of a disease.
