Patient's question:
The child was born a few days ago, and recently, for some reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. Please advise on how to manage nasal congestion and phlegm in a baby who is over 30 days old.Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be allergic rhinitis, which refers to a non-infectious inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa in atopic individuals after exposure to allergens, primarily mediated by IgE release and involving various immunologically active cells and cytokines. It is recommended to use loratadine tablets for treatment. In severe cases, desensitization therapy can be considered. Allergic rhinitis in children has a significant impact on patients, so it is advised that the patient seek timely treatment from a specialized medical professional and follow the doctor's guidance. Daily exercise is appropriate, but attention should be paid to preventing "overheating" (excessive internal heat). We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
