If you are allergic to rhinitis, the chances of your baby getting rhinitis will be high. The development of allergic rhinitis is closely related to genetics. Babies with a family history of allergic rhinitis have a 2-6 times higher risk of developing allergic rhinitis and a 3-4 times higher risk of developing asthma than the general population.
Allergic rhinitis (also known as allergic rhinitis) is an allergic inflammation of the nasal mucosa that occurs after the body has been exposed to allergens (e.g., mites, molds, pollen, etc.).
Specific manifestations of allergic rhinitis If your baby has not recovered from a cold for more than a week, it is likely that he or she has rhinitis. At the same time, rhinitis has the following symptoms: 1. Nasal itching and continuous sneezing: there are often several paroxysmal episodes per day, followed by nasal congestion and runny nose, especially in the morning and at night. Nasal itching is seen in most patients, sometimes itching outside the nose, soft palate, face and external ear canal, etc. Seasonal rhinitis is more obvious with itchy eyes.
2, a large number of clear water-like nasal discharge, but when the acute reaction tends to weaken or disappear, it can be reduced or thickened, if secondary infection can become mucopurulent secretions.
3.Nasal congestion: varying degrees of severity, unilateral or bilateral, intermittent or continuous, or alternating.
4.Sniffing disorder: caused by mucosal edema and nasal congestion, mostly temporary. Those caused by persistent mucosal edema resulting in atrophy of olfactory nerve.
The performance of each baby with rhinitis is different, some people have only one of the symptoms, some have all of them. The special color of the nasal mucosa and the positive allergen test results are necessary to confirm the diagnosis.
Allergic rhinitis in babies should be taken seriously More and more research findings confirm that allergic rhinitis and asthma are the same inflammatory disease in the same airway, only the lesions are different! Therefore, babies suffering from rhinitis should be treated promptly.
The incidence of asthma in patients with allergic rhinitis is significantly higher than in the general population. The incidence of allergic rhinitis in patients with asthma is also much higher than in the general population. Therefore, there is an extremely close connection between allergic rhinitis and asthma.
Allergic rhinitis is one of the high-risk factors leading to asthma, and the treatment of allergic rhinitis can reduce the symptoms of asthma and the incidence of asthma. Moreover, there are also similarities in the treatment principles. Therefore, parents should pay attention to the treatment of allergic rhinitis in babies.
