Patient's question:
My friend's child has already started kindergarten and is very cute. However, I've noticed that my friend has been feeling down lately. She mentioned that her baby has been sneezing frequently after waking up recently, and it has been going on for some time. The child says they feel uncomfortable in their nose, and whenever the friend sees the child sneezing, she gets upset.What kind of help is needed: Could you please ask the doctor what to do if the child keeps sneezing when getting up?
Doctor's answer:
The main symptoms of rhinitis include nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, headache, and dizziness. However, these symptoms alone are not sufficient to diagnose rhinitis. A detailed examination by an otolaryngologist is necessary. In terms of pathological changes in the nasal mucosa, rhinitis can be classified as simple chronic rhinitis, chronic hypertrophic rhinitis, caseous rhinitis, or atrophic rhinitis. Based on the onset and duration of the illness, it can be divided into acute rhinitis and chronic rhinitis. Please seek timely and thorough examination and treatment.
