We often see a lot of babies with runny nose for two or three weeks or even several months in the clinic, but parents think it is a cold. Or is it rhinitis? Let’s take a look at the difference between these two diseases. Cold is our common name for upper respiratory tract infection, upper respiratory tract infection, often accompanied by fever, runny nose, sneezing, cough, 90% of upper respiratory tract infections are caused by viral infections, oral medication, the baby’s condition quickly improved, the cold fever will be receded after the cough, even heavier than the fever, this is because the respiratory tract infection, bacteria, viruses damage the mucous membrane of our airways and caused by This cough is caused by a respiratory infection in which bacteria or viruses damage the mucous membrane of our airways, but this condition will improve soon after treatment. Then we will talk about allergic rhinitis. When rhinitis strikes, children do not have fever and other discomforts of a cold, they will have a runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion and nasal itching, but of course the symptoms are different for each baby. This is because the baby may be suffering from rhinitis, due to the long runny nose, the nasal mucosa has been in a sensitive state, bacteria take advantage of the situation, the complication of infection, and then lead to sinusitis. Some babies, because of the itchy nose, desperately rub their noses, digging nostrils, causing the nasal mucosa to break down, recurrent nasal bleeding, resulting in parental panic. Nasal congestion can affect the baby’s sleep, open mouth breathing, snoring, etc. For a long time, because of the lack of oxygen to the brain, can affect the baby’s brain development, of course, the typical allergic rhinitis is the symptoms of sneezing and runny nose in the morning, some babies sneeze one after another in the morning, 5 or even 10 or more, along with sneezing, there are symptoms of runny nose but this symptom only in the morning of this Some parents don’t take it seriously and think it’s a small thing, but we often overlook the fact that the nasal cavity is the most sensitive part of our body, apart from the sense of smell, which can smell all kinds of odors. When the air passes through our nasal cavity, our nostrils will filter it, humidify it, and then enter our respiratory tract, when our nasal cavity can not do these jobs, then it will cause repeated respiratory tract infections, so rhinitis is not a trivial matter, and nasal allergies, will trigger the entire respiratory allergy, rhinitis patients, the chances of asthma, 20 times more than normal people, so when the baby When the above symptoms appear, do not think he is a cold, should be guided by a specialist, reasonable use of drugs, so that the baby’s rhinitis, get a more standardized, more reasonable treatment.
