It is possible. The patient is advised to seek medical attention at a hospital promptly. When symptoms occur, nasal airflow can be improved by adjusting the child’s position. If no improvement is observed after repositioning, treatment should be carried out as directed by the physician. During treatment, ensure adequate hydration to support metabolism and maintain sufficient sleep.
