Rhinitis can be categorized into acute rhinitis and chronic rhinitis. The cause of rhinitis in children needs to be identified. Acute rhinitis can be eradicated through general treatment and medication, while chronic rhinitis is difficult to eradicate and requires medication and surgery to relieve symptoms. The specific treatment method is determined by the doctor according to the child’s physical condition and specific illness.
1. Acute rhinitis: general treatment includes adjusting living and dietary habits, such as resting more, exercising appropriately to enhance physical fitness; drinking more hot water, eating a light diet, and eating more vitamin-rich fresh fruits and vegetables.
Drug treatment includes local medication, such as budesonide, ephedrine nasal drops, etc. Antibiotics can be used to treat combined bacterial infections, such as cefixime, etc., and antipyretic and analgesic drugs, such as aspirin, can be used when necessary.
2. Chronic rhinitis: commonly used medication is budesonide, fluticasone propionate and other nasal glucocorticoids, which can reduce the inflammatory response of the nasal mucosa, cetirizine, loratadine and other antihistamines can relieve symptoms such as nasal itching, ipratropium bromide and other anticholinergic substances to reduce nasal secretions.
Surgical interventions, such as selective neurotomy, can be performed for patients who do not respond well to medication and meet the surgical symptoms.
Children diagnosed with rhinitis should be treated aggressively and in accordance with medical advice in order to cure or control the symptoms.
