Patient's question:
My daughter is now over one year old, but recently she has been constantly having a runny nose and sneezing. Later, we found out that she has allergic rhinitis, which has become quite severe and is now affecting her sleep. How should we deal with pediatric allergic rhinitis affecting sleep? Is medication necessary for treatment?Doctor's answer:
Infants and young children often have symptoms of a runny nose and sneezing, suffering from allergic rhinitis, which is closely related to external allergens. Locally applied decongestants can help alleviate the symptoms. If the episodes occur frequently, it is best to visit a hospital to identify the allergens and undergo desensitization treatment. At the same time, it is important to observe the presence of purulent secretions and consider the possibility of a bacterial infection. Wishing your baby good health.
