Patient's question:
My child is in first grade this year. It's especially cold this winter, and my child keeps getting colds on and off. Also, since he just started first grade, he might be experiencing some heatiness, with constant runny nose, alternating between yellow and clear mucus. His nasal voice is very heavy now, and his nose tip is red. I'd like to ask, what are the main symptoms of children's rhinitis?Doctor's answer:
If infants and young children exhibit symptoms of rhinitis, they are generally prone to experiencing nasal congestion and runny nose. This is usually considered to be closely related to allergic rhinitis, and oral antihistamines can be used for medication and treatment. At the same time, it is important to monitor for the presence of headache symptoms. If fever occurs, it is likely related to a bacterial infection. In such cases, oral anti-inflammatory medications should be taken in combination with the treatment.
