1.What is infantile rhinitis?
Infantile rhinitis, also known as cushings fever or allergic rhinitis, is a group of diseases that affect your baby’s nose and eyes, usually caused by small allergenic irritants such as wood chips, dust, dander, mold, etc. Babies may develop symptoms of chytridiomycosis at a very young age. Their allergic reactions may lead to other diseases such as sinusitis, ear infections, eczema or asthma.
2. Why do I get infant rhinitis?
When your baby inhales small allergens such as dust, pollen, dander, etc., it is possible that the immune system in your baby’s body sees these as a threat. In response, the immune system starts to attack these allergens, and the price of the attack is symptoms, mainly consisting of sneezing and a runny nose. When the body is exposed to these allergens more frequently, the symptoms may be relieved.

Your pediatrician can determine if your child’s symptoms are caused by allergic rhinitis. Ask your pediatrician to do a physical examination of your baby and to do tests related to allergic rhinitis, such as a skin test, blood count or complete blood count (CBC).
