How to distinguish between a baby's stuffy nose caused by a cold and rhinitis

Patient's question:

The child was born a few days ago, and recently, for some reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. How can I distinguish whether the baby's stuffy nose is due to a cold or rhinitis?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, rhinitis is mainly a nasal symptom, such as nasal congestion and stuffiness. A cold is a comprehensive range of symptoms, such as nasal congestion, sore throat, and swollen tonsils.
Hello, this situation may be a manifestation of chronic rhinitis. You can use cephalosporin drugs combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatments like Rhinitis Kang and Huo Dai Pills. Be mindful to avoid irritating foods, maintain good dietary and hygiene habits, and prevent catching colds. If necessary, consider surgical treatment.
