Patient's question:
The child has rhinitis at such a young age, with symptoms like nasal congestion, difficulty breathing, itchy nose, dry nose, and sneezing. They have tried various medications but feel that too many drugs have been used, worrying about side effects. They are considering trying children's nasal oil, as it is said to have no side effects. It is mainly for the care and relief of symptoms, not for a complete cure. Would it be okay to try it?Doctor's answer:
Once a child suffers from rhinitis, it can lead to nasal narrowing, affecting ventilation, which in turn can obstruct oxygen intake and cause a decrease in blood oxygen saturation. That's why the baby tends to breathe with an open mouth while sleeping. In daily life, it's important to prevent the baby from coming into contact with allergens. It's still necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The baby is six years old, and the doctor will prioritize medication treatment.
