If a child develops nasal congestion due to a common cold, they should visit the pediatrics department of a reputable hospital. If the cold is caused by a virus, Banlangen granules may be administered under a physician’s guidance. Additionally, nasal irrigation with normal saline can help alleviate nasal congestion. During treatment, the child should consume foods rich in vitamins—such as grapes and dragon fruit—as well as high-protein foods like eggs to enhance immune function.
