Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
If a child is unable to sleep due to nasal congestion, and it is caused by a cold, they may, under a doctor's guidance, take Lianhua Qingwen capsules for treatment. If the congestion is caused by rhinitis, a nasal spray such as mometasone furoate nasal spray may be used as directed by a physician. In addition, nasal congestion can also be relieved by rinsing the nasal cavity with normal saline. It is also important to keep warm and avoid getting chilled in daily life.
