What should I do if my child has rhinitis?

After a child has rhinitis, parents should pay attention to helping them with correct treatment and solutions, especially when the child has a stuffy nose. You can apply a hot, wet towel on the nose, but be sure to pay attention to the temperature to avoid burns.

1. When the temperature is lower in winter, parents can turn on the heater to change the room temperature. When the temperature drops suddenly, children are prone to runny noses, so parents should always pay attention to the indoor temperature and try to prevent children from having nasal congestion and runny noses due to sudden changes in temperature. The heater should be used in moderation. If the room temperature is too high, the air will become dry and the child will feel uncomfortable. So you can put a wet towel in the room where the heater is turned on to maintain the humidity in the room.

2. If the child has a stuffy nose, parents can apply hot compress to the child's nose with a hot, wet towel. Be careful not to use too high a temperature to avoid scalding your child. If there is nasal mucus in the child's nasal cavity, you can first wipe it gently with a sterilized cotton swab dipped in water. You can also slowly massage the child's nose or both sides of the nose to relieve the child's nasal congestion symptoms.

3. Nasal congestion or runny nose will affect children's sleep quality. When your child is sleeping, you can put a small pillow under his head to elevate his head. This can prevent runny nose from flowing back and choking the child while he is sleeping. You can also rub some mint ointment in the nasal cavity to moisten the nasal cavity and help the child sleep more soundly. However, it is best not to use it frequently for younger children to avoid irritating the child's skin.

4. Chinese medicine believes that the nose is the external orifice of the lungs, and the lungs open to the nose. When the lung qi is abundant, breathing is smooth. The source of rhinitis is in the "lungs. Because the evil heat is hidden in the lungs, the lung heat cannot be discharged or the wind and cold invade the lungs, causing "water and dampness" to stagnate in the nasal orifices, causing edema of the nasal concha. Poor ventilation or continuous runny nose, sneezing and other symptoms. Rhinitis is a manifestation of lung disease. Local treatment alone has formed the limitation of "treating the head for a headache and the foot for a foot pain", which is easy to relapse and difficult to cure for a long time.

5. Based on the pathogenic principle and combined with the patient's specific condition, a unique Chinese medicine formula is prescribed, with additions and subtractions, and treatment based on the pathogenesis and pathology, which can fundamentally cure rhinitis, comprehensively regulate the internal organs and meridians, promote lung qi, invigorate qi and strengthen the spleen, remove blood stasis and open the orifices, effectively eliminate toxins and bacteria, and fully restore lung function. At the same time, it achieves the physiological characteristics of nasal ventilation, filtration, and secretion, improves the body's natural immunity, prevents the recurrence of rhinitis, and achieves the effect of long-term treatment.
