A child who frequently has a runny nose with foul-smelling nasal discharge is very likely suffering from rhinitis. In such cases, medications for treating rhinitis—such as Tongqiao Biyan Granules or Biyan Ning Granules—may be taken. Continue treatment for several days. If the runny nose and sneezing are recent onset, it may instead indicate a common cold; in that case, appropriate cold remedies can be used. Additionally, ensure the child drinks plenty of warm water and engages in moderate physical activity.
