What to do if your baby has a runny nose and sneezes

If some babies have abnormal phenomena, they need to take appropriate measures to treat them in time, so as to ensure the health of the baby and avoid dangerous situations caused by the baby's physical problems. Pay attention to avoid causing danger to the baby's body, especially to avoid high fever. So what should I do if my baby has a runny nose and sneezes?

Symptom 1: Sneezing: Although colds can cause sneezing, the sneezes are generally not continuous, while allergic rhinitis can cause many sneezes in a row.

Symptom 2: Runny nose: In the early stages of a cold, there will be clear nasal discharge, but the amount will not be large. When allergic rhinitis occurs, a large amount of clear nasal discharge will "pour out".

Symptom 3: Nasal congestion: A cold may also cause nasal itching, but it is not as unbearable as the itching caused by allergic rhinitis. It feels like there are always ants crawling in the nose.

Symptom 4: Itchy eyes: a manifestation of allergic rhinitis combined with allergic conjunctivitis. During an acute attack of allergic conjunctivitis, the eyes will become extremely itchy or have a burning sensation, tears will flow, and redness and swelling will appear. Some eye secretions are watery, while others are mucous. The symptoms are different from other infectious conjunctivitis in that they have itchy and watery secretions.

Symptom 5: Nasal congestion: The severity varies. Seasonal symptom rhinitis often causes severe nasal congestion due to obvious edema of the nasal mucosa.

Symptom 6: General discomfort: Colds are often caused by bacterial infection, so they are often accompanied by fever and other general discomfort, but allergic rhinitis generally does not have this situation.

What should you do if you sneeze and have a runny nose? It is recommended that patients first go to a regular ENT hospital for professional examination, and then take treatment after being diagnosed with allergic rhinitis. Do not take medication blindly. In fact, in most cases, medication can only play a relieving role, treating the symptoms but not the root cause. Long-term use of medication and the accumulation of side effects will also cause great harm to the body.

Parents do not need to worry too much if their baby has the above problems. They should consult a doctor in time for treatment. This will help control the deterioration of the disease and avoid worsening of the child's condition due to influenza. In particular, parents should pay attention to ensuring the baby's safety and avoid problems such as pneumonia in the baby due to influenza.
