What are the symptoms and treatments of rhinitis in children?

Children's rhinitis mainly occurs in some acute or chronic inflammations of the nasal mucosa and the tissues below the nasal mucosa. Children with this disease often have nasal congestion and clear runny nose. Some children with rhinitis often feel throat discomfort, itchy nose, or even cough. Children's rhinitis generally includes acute rhinitis, chronic rhinitis, atrophic rhinitis and allergic rhinitis. It is easy to get sick all year round. Here are the symptoms and treatments of rhinitis in children.

The main symptoms of rhinitis in children are: nasal congestion, which is characterized by intermittent nature. Nasal congestion is relieved during the day, in hot weather, while working or exercising, but is aggravated at night, when sitting still or in cold weather. Another characteristic of nasal congestion is its alternation. When lying on your side, the lower nasal cavity is blocked, but the upper nasal cavity is well ventilated. Due to nasal congestion, there may be occasional symptoms such as decreased sense of smell, headache, dizziness, and nasal speech. Excessive discharge is often mucous or mucopurulent, and occasionally purulent. Purulence often occurs after seasonal infection.

Treatment of rhinitis in children: etiological treatment, finding out the systemic and local causes, and timely treatment of systemic chronic diseases, sinusitis, adjacent infected lesions and nasal septum deviation, etc. Improve living and working environment, exercise, and enhance body resistance.

For local treatment, intranasal glucocorticoids are the first choice for chronic rhinitis, which have good anti-inflammatory effects and ultimately produce a decongestive effect. It can be used for a longer period of time as needed, with good efficacy and safety. Nasal cleaning: For those with more or thicker nasal secretions, the nasal cavity can be cleaned with normal saline to remove nasal secretions and improve nasal ventilation.

Children's rhinitis must be treated actively, otherwise it is easy to cause various complications. For example, children's rhinitis can cause acute sinusitis and even purulent sinusitis. In addition, if children's rhinitis is not treated actively, the disease may slowly develop and easily cause acute otitis media, or acute pharyngitis and laryngitis. If the infection is more severe, it may also induce bronchitis.
