Patient's question:
I couldn't breathe through my nose when sleeping at night. It has been about a month, and I have taken a lot of medicine, but it hasn't helped.Doctor's answer:
Nasal congestion is one of the common symptoms in otolaryngology. The most common causes include rhinitis, deviated septum, nasal polyps, sinusitis, etc. When a child experiences nasal congestion again, parents should first try to identify the cause of the congestion rather than rushing to use medication. Medications have significant toxic side effects on children. If the nasal congestion is not due to a cold, it is likely caused by rhinitis. It is recommended to take the child to a formal otolaryngology hospital for a thorough examination.
