A child’s cold and runny nose may be caused by allergic rhinitis and cold, and should be treated with anti-allergy and anti-cold treatment according to different situations.
1. Allergic rhinitis: due to the imperfect development of the child’s immune system, it is easy to overreact, which is manifested as easy allergy. For example, when exposed to cold wind, it may lead to allergic rhinitis in children, which is manifested by symptoms such as runny nose, continuous sneezing and tearing.
At this time, you can choose to give your child anti-allergy medication to relieve the symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
2. Colds: After a child gets cold, the body’s immunity will be adversely affected, leading to a decline in immunity, which will allow viruses or bacteria to take advantage of the situation and invade the body, which will lead to colds. In addition to the symptoms of cold and runny nose, usually there will be nasal congestion, throat discomfort, cough, headache and other symptoms.
In this case, you can give your child ibuprofen, acetaminophen and other targeted treatment to relieve clinical symptoms. If the symptoms are not severe, you can give your child plenty of fluids to relieve the symptoms without medication.
If your child has a runny nose due to cold and other serious discomforts, seek medical attention and follow the doctor’s instructions for examination and treatment.
