How Do You Treat Post-Nasal Drip In Children?

Hi! I'm Dr. David Hill and today we're going to be talking about how to treat post-nasal drip in children. So you may notice that a child doesn't necessarily blow his/her nose a whole lot and may not have snot dripping down their face, but they may spend a lot of time sort of bringing up phlegm from the back of their throat.

Going ehhhhhhh, or hhhrrrr or any of those other lovely sounds that children make. That was a good one. So that's a sign that there's some sort of nasal secretion that are being managed.

And the first question for you is, what is the source of the nasal secretions? There are lots of reasons a child's nose may run. It could be as simple as the weather is cold, or it could be allergies, it could be the common cold or it could even be a bacterial sinus infection.

Telling the different between these three things is a little difficult but you can get some clues and knowing which thing you're treating really helps you to treat it. Looking for colds, children will get ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
