Patient's question:
The child was born only a few days ago, and recently, for some reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. How should baby rhinitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Because different types of rhinitis require different treatment methods. Antihistamines are effective for allergic rhinitis. Sinusitis is treated with antibiotics, supplemented with traditional Chinese medicine. Nasal congestion caused by rhinitis can lead to reduced oxygen intake for babies, which may affect their growth and development in the long run. Parents should enhance their children's nutrition and maintain a balanced diet. Although nasal strips belong to physical therapy and are topical adhesive without medicinal ingredients, the adhesive in the strips may cause skin allergies and could potentially enlarge pores or damage the baby's skin.
