Patient's question:
Knowing it's cold, I dressed my child in thick clothes, and also remembered to remind him to wear a mask when going out, trying my best to keep him warm. But for some reason, I found out that he developed rhinitis. It's such a young child, yet he's troubled by this. What are the causes of pediatric rhinitis?Doctor's answer:
The rhinitis in children, if it's a common acute rhinitis, is mainly caused by a viral infection leading to an upper respiratory tract infection due to a decline in immunity. If it's sinusitis, it's caused by a bacterial infection that follows a cold. If it's allergic rhinitis, it's triggered in people with an allergic constitution after they come into contact with allergens. The causes of different types of rhinitis are also different. When rhinitis occurs, it's necessary to seek standardized treatment in a formal otolaryngology department.
