In the clinic, parents often ask doctors: “Why is my child’s rhinitis good for a while, but not good for a while?” “Why does rhinitis always come back? “”Why is rhinitis not easily cured?””.
Children can’t describe the symptoms correctly, for example, the child’s nose has a sucking action, which is the performance of the nose, that is, nasal congestion, the child has squeezed eyebrows, nose twitching action, which is the performance of itchy eyes, itchy nose, and children can’t blow their noses, nasal cavity a sucking, nasal snot can’t come out, children rhinitis what are they? There are two most common types of rhinitis in children: one for simple rhinitis and one for allergic rhinitis. The appearance of simple rhinitis is the nose has a sucking action, which is the nose discomfort, nasal cavity has mucous snot or sticky white snot, and children can not blow their noses, told children to blow their noses, the affected children are sucking nasal snot, so that the snot can not go out. Moreover, the snot flows down from the back end of the nasal cavity, and the phlegm is attached to the throat, so that the throat is cleared frequently. Whether the sense of smell is normal or not is often not self-reported by the child, and parents or doctors need to ask to know. Allergic rhinitis is mainly a rapid allergic reaction caused by inhalation of allergens. The most common allergens are mites, dust, animal debris, and poultry hair. Many children may not be able to describe the symptoms of allergic rhinitis in detail, but because of nasal itching and nasal congestion, children often have to make a “face” and sometimes rub the tip of their nose upward with their palms to stop the itching and “shrink snot” action. Over time, the skin on the back of the nose will appear a horizontal line. Digging nose, nasal irritation easily appear nostril and adjacent skin flushing. In addition, some children’s nasal congestion causes obstruction of facial venous reflux, which causes skin pigmentation under the eyelids, resulting in dark circles under the eyes.
If you have a mild case of allergic rhinitis, you will always feel as if there are ants walking in your nose, so you can’t help but rub your nose with water, and if you have a severe case, you can’t stand it.
The difficulty in treating rhinitis in children is that simple rhinitis and allergic rhinitis often coincide, characterized by acute rhinitis symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose and headache once the child is cold. Without careful clinical differentiation, it is often easy to confuse, so doctors need to have extensive clinical experience.
Parents sometimes find that in addition to rhinitis, their children seem to have hearing loss, and when they call their children, they may find that their children are slow. The physician will diagnose “secretory otitis media”. In addition to rhinitis, children with secretory otitis media must be treated with both, and sometimes doctors will prescribe “Nesuna” or “Oronema” for external spraying and internal use.
Some parents may say that their child’s rhinitis symptoms will be relieved by taking some medicine, but after a few days the symptoms will worsen again. Why? The doctor may also wonder why the medicine is not effective after a few days when it is clearly effective. When you look into it, you will find that patients often sweat and blow, such as riding motorcycles without helmets, sweating after sports without wearing clothes and getting cold, and having a relapse of rhinitis after going to kindergarten. Therefore, it is very important to prevent blowing after sweating to prevent rhinitis and consolidate the effect of rhinitis treatment.
The correct way to blow your nose is to use your fingers to press one side of your nostrils and use the other side to gently blow your nose outward, then use the same method to gently blow the other side, or you can put toilet paper under your nostrils and put both hands lightly on both sides of your nose and blow your nose out with a little force. After blowing your nose, it is best to put the toilet paper into the toilet and flush it away with water immediately, otherwise it should be thrown into the closed garbage can to avoid spreading bacteria in the room where there is no air circulation and increasing the risk of others catching the flu. If the nasal congestion is serious, do not blow strongly, so that the snot does not enter the eustachian tube and acute otitis media occurs. Some people will forcefully pump the snot into the mouth, and then swallow, to a “nose to internal sales”, which is even more wrong, on the one hand, can not identify the color and nature of the snot, missed some disease signals, and can lead to gastrointestinal disorders.
Massage the “Yingxiang” point with the middle finger of the left and right hand or show the finger to press the “Yingxiang” point (in the recess of the nasolabial groove next to the nose) several times. Because in the “Yingxiang” point there are facial arteries, veins and branches of the infraorbital arteries and veins, is the anastomosis of the facial nerve and infraorbital nerve. Massage this point that helps to improve local blood circulation, prevention of nasal disease, but also to prevent facial nerve palsy.
Massage the Indo point with the thumb and little finger, the middle finger of the finger point press “Indo” point (in the middle of the two eyebrows) 12 times, can also be used in the middle fingers of both hands, a left and a right alternately massage “Indo” point. This method can enhance the proliferation of nasal mucous membrane epithelial cells, and can stimulate the olfactory cells, making the sense of smell sensitive. It can also prevent colds and respiratory diseases.
