What should I do if my child has rhinitis and cough? Medical experts tell you how

The most obvious symptom of rhinitis in infants and young children is coughing. Experienced parents will use salt water to clean their children's nasal cavity, because salt water has the effect of killing bacteria and disinfecting. But sometimes these simple methods are not enough, so the following is a detailed treatment method for everyone.

1. Wash your nose with salt water

Use saline solution to clean the nasal cavity. If you can equip it with a constant pressure spray nasal washer, the saline solution can be delivered to the posterior nasal cavity and sinus area, which can clean the entire nasal cavity more completely and effectively, and promptly remove allergens and pathogens in the nasal cavity, preventing them from accumulating in the nasal cavity to irritate and infect the nasal mucosa, and eliminate edema and inflammation.

This is a physical therapy that does not require medication, is safe, and does not harm the body. However, the effect is slower than taking medicine. It requires persistent use to continuously improve the self-detoxification function of the nasal cavity. In the future, when allergens enter the nasal cavity, you can deal with it by yourself. Regular maintenance can also reduce recurrence.

2. Drug treatment

In terms of medication, you should use Rhinitis Kang tablets and Claritin, anti-allergic drugs such as chlorpheniramine, ketotifen, etc., and bronchodilators such as salbutamol, aminophylline, etc. can also be used.

3. Diet therapy

Peanut and Yam Porridge

Ingredients: 45g peanuts (without peeling the red skin), 30g Chinese yam, 100g polished rice, and appropriate amount of rock sugar.

Preparation method: Crush the peanuts and yam, then mix them with rice and cook into porridge. When cooked, add rock sugar and serve with meals.

4. Prevention of rhinitis in children

1. Get rid of the bad habit of picking your nose.

2. After taking a bath, you should try to dry your hair before going to sleep to avoid catching a cold.

3. Reduce the irritation of cold air to the nasal mucosa and wear a mask when appropriate.

4. Keep warm. Climate change can easily cause colds and rhinitis. When seasons change, pay attention to the weather forecast and put on appropriate clothes in time.

5. The key to preventing allergic rhinitis is to avoid contact with allergens. Common allergens include: mites, house dust, insects (such as cockroaches, mosquitoes, flies, moths, etc., dander, secretions, excrement, etc. can also cause allergies), feathers, and pollen.
