How to deal with children's rhinitis

Rhinitis is difficult to treat, and most people cannot be effectively cured. Children's rhinitis is different from that of adults. Because some of the body's immune systems are not fully developed during this period, the disease resistance is weak and it is easy to be invaded by bacteria. The treatment methods are introduced below.

1. Find the source and prescribe the right medicine

The causes of rhinitis are mostly different. Parents should give some information about the primary cause of their child's rhinitis to the doctor so that the doctor can treat the child based on the cause of the disease. Different rhinitis requires different medications. For example, allergic rhinitis requires anti-allergic treatment by taking drugs such as astemizole and chlorpheniramine. You can also use some nasal drops, which are generally used to relieve the symptoms of rhinitis. Nasal oil can relieve the dryness of dry rhinitis, furosemide can relieve nasal congestion, and hormone nasal drops can help relieve symptoms of allergic rhinitis such as sneezing and clear nasal discharge.

2. Pay attention to rhinitis when you have a cold

Children's colds are usually accompanied by symptoms such as sore throat and cough. In severe cases, they may also have fever, headache, body aches, and even nausea and diarrhea. The typical symptoms of rhinitis are paroxysmal sneezing, runny nose, itchy nose, and nasal congestion. Parents should pay attention to their children's symptoms while they have a cold, and be careful of a recurrence of rhinitis!

3. Try saline solution

When your child starts to have symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy nose, or nasal congestion, try washing with salt water. Use normal saline. Nasal irrigation with saline must be done in two steps. You must first rinse the nasal vestibule separately, and then rinse the deep nasal cavity after rinsing the nasal vestibule;

Warm reminder: When using saline nasal irrigation for children, the tools for saline nasal irrigation, whether simple or complex, such as electric ones, must have a Class II medical device number to be sold on the market, and their safety and effectiveness must be guaranteed before they can be used with confidence.
