Why does my child's nose hurt?

If a child has a sore nose, parents should pay attention. There are many reasons for a child's nose pain. Generally speaking, it may be related to rhinitis. Children are relatively young and their immunity is not yet fully developed, so they are prone to allergies. For example, bad air in daily life, animal hair, spring pollen, etc. may all lead to such symptoms. Let's take a look at this aspect.

Why does my child's nose hurt?

Considering that it is caused by rhinitis, you can do nose friction or nose massage every day: use your thumb to rub the nose wing up and down along the bridge of the nose several times, use your index finger to rotate and massage the "Yingxiang" point several times to enhance the blood circulation in the nose; eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins to help the recovery of the nasal mucosal epithelium. In daily life, you can make some angelica sinensis tea, which can reduce inflammation, fight bacteria, clear away heat and detoxify, and effectively improve and prevent diseases.

What are the symptoms of rhinitis in children?

1. Acute rhinitis in children

It is usually caused by an acute infection, commonly known as "cold" or "flu". Children are prone to nasal congestion and increased nasal secretions. In the early stage, there is clear watery discharge, which gradually forms mucopurulent nasal discharge. Children also show low fever and general discomfort.

2. Chronic rhinitis in children

It usually develops from acute rhinitis and is associated with secondary bacterial infection, incomplete treatment and recurrent attacks.

3. Allergic rhinitis in children

If the disease occurs throughout the year, it is called perennial allergic rhinitis. If the disease only occurs during a season, it is called seasonal allergic rhinitis. When allergic rhinitis occurs, the nasal mucosa is generally pale and edematous, and a large amount of clear watery mucus is retained in the nose.

4. Atrophic rhinitis in children

Nasal tissues such as the nasal mucosa, periosteum and nasal concha are atrophied, while the nasal cavity is relatively wide. The nasal mucosa loses its normal physiological function, and the child's nose becomes dry and ventilation is difficult.

5. Chronic hypertrophic rhinitis

It often develops from chronic simple rhinitis. Long-term chronic inflammation and congestion cause hyperplasia of the nasal mucosa or nasal concha, thus forming chronic hypertrophic rhinitis.

6. Cheesy rhinitis in children

This is a relatively rare nasal disease. Children with caseous rhinitis have accumulation of caseous matter in their noses, which has a strong foul odor and can easily erode the soft tissue and bone in the nose. Cheese often contains desquamated epithelium, necrotic tissue, purulent cells, cholesterol crystals and mold-like microorganisms.
