Health guidance for nasal congestion and runny nose

How to distinguish cold, runny nose and rhinitis

The most common cold is acute inflammation of the nasal cavity and pharynx caused by viral infection. If simple nasal congestion and runny nose are considered as acute rhinitis, if accompanied by respiratory symptoms such as sore throat, fever, general weakness and cough, upper respiratory tract infection should be considered. Generally, symptomatic treatment can be used to relieve nasal congestion and runny nose. Pay attention to rest, drink water properly, and rinse with salt water to relieve the temperature drop. Generally, it reaches the peak in 2-3 days, and then gradually decreases, lasting 7-65438. If the symptoms of nasal congestion and runny nose persist for more than 10- 14 days, it must not be a simple respiratory infection. Considering the existence of rhinitis, otorhinolaryngology is needed for diagnosis and treatment.

If you have allergic rhinitis before, it suddenly gets worse because of catching a cold and other reasons, and there are no cold symptoms such as fever and sore throat, you should consider allergic rhinitis and need anti-allergic treatment.

Which children are easy to get rhinitis, and what effect will children get rhinitis?

The incidence of rhinitis is extremely high, and people of almost all ages will suffer from rhinitis in their daily lives. Lighter ones can be relieved, while heavier ones will affect life and study and even lead to abnormal changes in mood and spirit.

Why do children get rhinitis easily? What are the factors that cause rhinitis?

Children are not only prone to rhinitis, but also often have more edema of nasal mucosa than adults!

This is because the child's general immunity is not perfect, the nasal mucosa is delicate, the lumen is small, and the submucosa is loose. Mucosal edema often leads to heavier nasal congestion than adults. In addition, the child's expression ability is poor, which is manifested by breathing with his mouth open, sleeping uneasily or waking up, and the baby will even refuse to breastfeed. Itchy nose often manifests as rubbing nose, digging nose and wrinkling nose. In addition, dry air often leads to nosebleeds, so parents should pay attention to it in time and take their children to see a doctor in time.

It will lead to abnormal changes in mood and spirit.

The effect of rhinitis on children is far more than a stuffy nose and runny nose. Long-term rhinitis will damage the quality of life, emotional changes, learning status and cognitive function of patients. It affects sleep at night, and it is easy to get tired during the day, lose your temper easily, lose your concentration, and even affect the sleep and quality of life of the whole family.

In addition, some children suffer from asthma or may develop asthma in the future, accompanied by allergic diseases such as allergic dermatitis and conjunctivitis, which can also cause otitis media.

Proper use of sufficient amount will do more good than harm to the treatment.

For moderate and severe persistent rhinitis and mild persistent rhinitis, nasal corticosteroids are the first choice. For patients with bronchial asthma, nasal corticosteroids are beneficial to control asthma symptoms and improve lung function.

The effect of regular administration is better than that of on-demand administration. At least four weeks after taking it, oral antihistamines and leukotriene receptor antagonists have no systemic side effects of hormones, and most children are well tolerated, and basically have no inhibitory effect on their growth and development.

* When using, it is recommended to administer contralateral hormone through nasal spray.

Are chronic rhinitis and allergic rhinitis the same thing?

Chronic rhinitis can be divided into infectious rhinitis, allergic rhinitis and non-infectious non-allergic rhinitis according to different types of mucosal inflammation. Allergic rhinitis is an allergic disease with stuffy nose and runny nose, but allergic rhinitis is a clear water secretion from persistent sneezing.

Diagnosis suggests otolaryngology examination and drug treatment.
