What to do if your two and a half year old baby has rhinitis

If a two-and-a-half-year-old baby has rhinitis, he will often sneeze and have a runny nose. There are many reasons for rhinitis in babies, which may be related to colds and seasonality. If the child has an allergic constitution, rhinitis may also easily occur due to allergens. At this time, parents should understand the specific reasons and then provide good symptomatic treatment. Let's take a look at this aspect.

How to treat rhinitis in a two and a half year old baby

1. Oral medication: Mainly used to treat the primary cause of rhinitis. The medication used varies depending on the type of rhinitis. Allergic rhinitis, general chronic rhinitis, and atrophic rhinitis require different medications.

2. Local nasal drops: Nasal drops are generally used to relieve the symptoms of rhinitis, and nasal oil can relieve the dryness of dry rhinitis.

3. Chinese herbal remedies: can be used as a reference for the treatment of rhinitis. At present, many folk remedies have been prepared into Chinese patent medicines. Please follow the doctor's advice.

4. Surgery: Surgery is mainly used for rhinitis that cannot be treated with drugs and has no obvious effect, and can solve nasal congestion. It is suitable for nasal obstruction caused by enlarged nasal conchae, or atrophic rhinitis with extremely dry nasal cavity. Endoscopic nasal submucosal turbinate plasty can be considered to restore nasal airway patency, which can minimize mucosal damage and conform to the principle of minimally invasive surgery.

5. Laser or microwave treatment: suitable for nasal obstruction and has certain benefits for sneezing. It generally does not solve the problem of a runny nose.

6. Low-temperature plasma radio frequency treatment of rhinitis: The indications are the same as laser and microwave, but the damage and side effects are relatively small.

The harm of rhinitis to babies

Hazard 1: Affecting children's normal biological clock. Allergic rhinitis has a fixed season of onset every year. Patients with allergic rhinitis often make faces, scratch their ears, and deliberately open their eyes wide. If this continues for a long time, the quality of sleep will be greatly reduced, leading to disruption of the normal biological clock, and in serious cases it will affect all aspects of physiology.

Harm 2: Affecting the child's face. Allergic rhinitis will cause nasal obstruction, and the child must often breathe through the mouth. This will cause the child's maxillary bone to be underdeveloped and the cheekbones to become smaller. Long-term blockage will also cause complications such as bronchial asthma, sinusitis, allergic pharyngitis, etc., affecting the child's face.

Hazard three: Inducing other diseases The nasal cavity is the first barrier to human breathing and can effectively resist and filter external viruses. The onset of allergic rhinitis weakens its function, allowing pathogens to enter various organs in the body and cause lesions. Allergic rhinitis also has symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, itchy nose, sneezing, and dark circles under the eyes. If not treated in time, allergic rhinitis will develop to a serious level and will cause many complications, such as sinusitis, otitis media, bronchial asthma, etc.

The above methods can be used to treat rhinitis in a two-and-a-half-year-old baby. It is necessary to find a reasonable treatment method based on the patient's symptoms and causes. Rhinitis is a very harmful disease. The causes of rhinitis are different, so the types of manifestations are different, and the treatment methods are also different. Therefore, parents cannot blindly treat their babies.
