The dangers of rhinitis in children

Children are the key protected objects in the family. They are usually afraid of being cold or frozen. However, when the baby has nasal congestion, frequent runny nose, sneezing, and a red and swollen nose, parents should be careful that the child may have rhinitis and need to go to the hospital for further examination. If rhinitis has been confirmed, it is necessary to understand some of the dangers, because rhinitis is very harmful to the eyes and body and requires active cooperation in treatment.

The dangers of rhinitis

The latest medical research at home and abroad has confirmed that 80% of nasopharyngeal cancer in the world occurs in China, and about 90% of nasopharyngeal cancer is caused by the deterioration of rhinitis that has not been cured for a long time. In terms of work and study, adults will suffer from headaches, unclear thinking, drowsiness and low work efficiency due to rhinitis; while teenagers will have a lack of concentration and a significant decline in memory and academic performance due to symptoms such as nasal congestion and headaches caused by rhinitis.

The clinical symptoms of rhinitis vary and are extremely harmful. When it affects the physiological function of the nasal cavity, breathing disorders will occur, causing a decrease in blood oxygen concentration, affecting the function and metabolism of other tissues and organs, and causing symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, memory loss, chest pain, chest tightness, mental depression, etc., and even serious complications such as emphysema, cor pulmonale, and asthma. When rhinitis is not treated in time and affects the olfactory mucosa, olfactory disorders will occur, resulting in the inability to smell fragrance or odors.

When long-term recurrent sinusitis is not treated in time, the inflammation will spread to adjacent organs and tissues, and may lead to complications such as frontal bone osteomyelitis, orbital bone wall osteomyelitis and periostitis, orbital wall subperiosteal abscess, orbital cellulitis, retrobulbar optic neuritis, epidural abscess, subdural abscess, purulent meningitis, brain abscess, cavernous sinus thrombosis and other critical emergencies.
