Pediatric rhinitis is a disease that can cause serious damage to a child’s respiratory health. Patients with pediatric rhinitis often feel an itchy nose and want to sneeze, and most common pediatric rhinitis is allergic rhinitis.
The signs and symptoms of pediatric allergic rhinitis are not typical. Common symptoms of pediatric allergic rhinitis include: itchy nose, alternating nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose (mostly clear water, pus when infected), decreased or absent sense of smell, dizziness, headache, stuffy ears, red and itchy eyes, and tearing.
Pediatric rhinitis is characterized by a large amount of clear watery nasal discharge. Patients with pediatric rhinitis are accompanied by sneezing while a large amount of nasal discharge pours down, which may turn into mucous-purulent discharge if secondary infection occurs.
The degree of nasal congestion in pediatric rhinitis varies, and the symptoms of nasal congestion are usually unilateral or bilateral, intermittent or persistent, and may also be alternating.
Itchy nose and continuous sneezing are also common symptoms of pediatric rhinitis. Patients with rhinitis often experience several episodes of continuous sneezing followed by nasal congestion and runny nose every day, with the manifestations of pediatric rhinitis being more pronounced in the morning and at night.
If pediatric rhinitis is caused by mucosal edema and nasal congestion, it is mostly temporary; if it is caused by persistent edema of the mucosa leading to atrophy of the olfactory nerve, it is mostly persistent rhinitis.
Pay attention to exercise, improve resistance, pay attention to warmth, reduce the occurrence of colds and other acute infectious diseases, correct the bad habit of picking the nose, babies with idiosyncratic constitution, such as suffering from asthma, allergic diseases, etc., should try to avoid allergens and actively treat the original disease, which can effectively prevent allergic rhinitis.
