What should I do if my child's rhinitis hasn't improved after a month?

Patient's question:

Two months ago, my child had a cold for a long time and didn't get better. Later, he also developed rhinitis. The doctor gave us some spray medication, but after using it for a month, the child's rhinitis still hasn't improved. Doctor, what should I do if my child's rhinitis hasn't gotten better after a month?

Doctor's answer:

If rhinitis repeatedly occurs in the bathroom, it is necessary to go to the hospital for allergen testing, nasal endoscopy, and brain MRI. There may be sinusitis, frontal sinusitis, or allergic rhinitis, which can lead to chronic episodes. Wear a mask when going outdoors to avoid contact with cold air. If you have allergic rhinitis, you can use medication under the guidance of a doctor. Exclude symptoms related to allergies, confirm the diagnosis, and then adopt targeted treatment. Pay attention to avoiding direct sunlight on bedding.
