Patient's question:
Recently, my child occasionally gets nosebleeds. I took them to see a doctor, and they said it's allergic rhinitis. What are the symptoms of allergic rhinitis?Doctor's answer:
If it is pediatric allergic rhinitis, then the four typical symptoms of this disease are runny nose, sneezing, nasal itching, and nasal congestion. Additionally, pediatric allergic rhinitis may also be accompanied by eye symptoms such as itchy eyes, conjunctival congestion, and tearing. Moreover, some children may experience nosebleeds. In such cases, it is usually necessary to rule out blood diseases in these children. If blood test results are normal, then the nosebleeds may be caused by frequent nose picking, leading to the rupture of capillaries.
