you can use panado, benylin cough syrup, strepsils.<br/><br/>best wishes nasal saline irrigations are excellent for chronic sinus symptoms. antibiotic ointment available over the counter is useful for irritation within the nose. increase the humidity within the home can help with dryness, if not possible, inhale steam. absolutely avoid placing anything into the nose other than ointment just at the base. do not shove tissue into the nose. humidifiers add water vapor to the air we breathe. it does not 'treat' cold symptoms but makes the air your child breathes less dry. can help with breathing being more comfortable. good luck.

Do not rub the eyes Warm compresses on the swollen parts of the eye Do not use eye drops without doctor's instructions Consume nutritious food and get enough rest

dr. M. Rizki Hello Deassy,



  

Thank you for the question.











Sore throat accompanied by cough is most often caused by strep throat (pharyngitis). This condition, in addition can occur due to infection (including infection with the Corona virus that causes COVID-19), can also occur due to allergies, irritation, and even malignancy around the throat.



  

Not only pharyngitis, complaints that your child is experiencing may also be caused by reflux of stomach acid into the throat, excessive stretch of the vocal cords, tonsillitis, rhinosinusitis, laryngitis, bronchitis, immune disorders, asthma, and many other diseases. Physical conditions that are not so good after being sick (in this case dengue fever), can indeed make your child much more vulnerable to experiencing these various complaints.



  

If there is no fever, shortness of breath, or severe vomiting, often conditions like that experienced by your child are not dangerous. If it feels disturbing, you can try to do first:







Give your child paracetamol as long as his throat is still painful  

Remind him to drink a lot and rest a lot in the house  

Don't give him food that has artificial sweetness, oily, spicy, and cold  

Keep children from smoke, dust, cigarettes, pollution, cold, and other substances that can worsen their complaints  

Give the child a mask while still coughing  

Keep the child away from other people who are coughing, sneezing, runny nose, and fever  

Put the child in the sun in the morning so the mucus causes the cough to melt



Conversely, if there are severe complaints as mentioned above, or your child and / or someone who is at home with him has contact with sufferers or suspects of COVID-19, then you can check him directly to the doctor or pediatrician to be given further treatment according to the cause the complaint is ...

Maybe you mean TB lymphadenitis (tuberculosis).



  

Mycobacterium tuberculosis can indeed infect a variety of organ systems, including the lymph nodes. These bacteria usually enter through the respiratory tract, especially in people who come in close contact with other TB sufferers, children, the elderly, and people with poor immune system. Under normal conditions, this lymph node functions as a haven and proliferation of white blood cells in warding off infections, including TB infection. However, along with its development, this lymph node itself can actually become infected, so that arises lymphadenitis. Clinically, TB lymphadenitis sufferers will experience lumps (often in the neck, armpits, or groin) that are round, smooth, springy, and often feel painful, especially when pressed. Not only that, TB lymphadenitis can also make sufferers experience fever, excessive sweating, weight gain is difficult to rise, weakness, fatigue, and various other complaints.



  

Handling TB lymphadenitis is done by giving OAT (anti-TB drugs) that must be consumed by sufferers for at least 6 consecutive months. Every month, the patient will be re-evaluated by a doctor to assess his responsiveness to the treatment given. After more than 2 months of treatment, complaints will generally improve slowly.



  

However, you need to know, that the treatment of TB lymphadenitis must also be accompanied by appropriate natural treatments, including those related to diet, regulation of activities, and also lifestyle modification. This inadequate treatment is likely to make your mother appear to be undergoing improvement despite long-term treatment. It could also, the slow healing process occurs due to the non-optimal resistance of your mother's body, resistance (immunity) of bacteria to the treatment given, as well as a variety of other factors. Compared with other complaints. lumps in lymph nodes due to TB lymphadenitis often will indeed not disappear completely, even though the patient's status has recovered from illness.



  

The itching that your mother is experiencing right now could be a side effect of the OAT she is taking. It could also, this itching occurs due to other reasons, for example allergies, skin irritation, infections, disorders of liver function, disorders of the thyroid gland, dry skin, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and so on.



  

Our advice, you check your mother back to the doctor or a specialist in internal medicine in order to get the right treatment. Meanwhile, at home, help your mother do the following steps:







Take OAT as recommended by your doctor  

Give your mother healthy and nutritious food, containing rich calories and protein  

Give him too much to drink  

Let your mother take a break from exhausting activities  

Accompany him to exercise  

Create a clean, well-ventilated and well-lit environment  

If you or someone else around your mother shows symptoms of TB infection, see your doctor directly to treat them properly



Hope this helps ...
