Not long ago, during a chat with a mother, she mentioned that her 6-year-old baby often rubbed his nose and especially liked to rub his eyes, which were red and still had obvious dark circles under his eyes. The next day, she came over with a very cute little baby. Through careful questioning and examination, I told her that it was allergic rhinitis in children, and after several courses of continuous treatment, the baby’s symptoms were greatly improved and the mother was very happy. So what is allergic rhinitis in children? Let’s get to know it together. The age of onset of allergic rhinitis in children is not certain, some children’s parents have allergic rhinitis, the child may not, and some children are the opposite, which is affected by the parents’ genetic factors and the environment they live in, so you can not simply think that allergic rhinitis is genetic. If you find that your little one has a lot of nasal discharge and likes to rub his nose, rub his eyes, has dark circles under his eyes, or often says that the back of his ears are itchy, he likes to move around at night, his nose is not ventilated, and even snores, and occasionally coughs during sleep, and has a short attention span during the day, then you should pay attention to the fact that your baby may have allergic rhinitis. How can a baby with allergic rhinitis have these symptoms? Because it is an allergic condition, babies will feel itchy in their nose, eyes and ears, so they will keep rubbing, some of them will break their nose and bleed a little, and some babies will show that their nose is especially dry or blocked, and there will be small cracks in the middle of their nose, forming a fine scar. So what’s wrong with dark circles under the eyes? Allergic rhinitis baby, sleep at night will often be nasal congestion, the nose is not ventilated, the baby will toss and turn, a long time sleep is not good, so the baby will have a black eye. The baby suddenly cough that and what is going on? It turns out that the nasal water inside the baby’s nose will flow from the back of the nose to the throat, and the baby can’t spit it out or swallow it when he or she falls asleep, choking on the trachea so it will cough. What are the dangers of allergic rhinitis in babies? Babies often runny nose, sneezing, especially after the cold for many days are a long time dragging the snot, will affect their daily learning and child interaction, long-term nose congestion, snoring caused by poor sleep will cause children hyperactivity, inattention, affecting the baby’s growth and development, and snot backflow is also very unhygienic, more detrimental to the baby’s strong growth.

If the parents have allergic rhinitis and the child does not get well easily after catching a cold, it is still necessary to come to the ENT department to see if it is caused by allergic rhinitis; usually, the child should be educated to have less contact with pets, plush toys and other toys to stay away from common allergens; most importantly, the child should be accompanied to strengthen physical exercise to enhance physical fitness, such as moderate running, dancing and other sports.
