My baby has been cold since the beginning of December, runny nose, cough, at the beginning of the cold fever fever, we fed anti-fever medicine, but there is no effect, or high fever does not go away, and then brought to the hospital, the doctor said that it is pharyngitis, C-reactive protein is too high, arranged hospitalization, stayed for a week discharged.
I thought that the situation should be slowly improved after being discharged from the hospital, but at the end of December, I began to have a fever again, the high fever did not go away, the whole person was very mentally poor, and I could only take it to the hospital again, the doctor said pneumonia, I had to be hospitalized, and then I stayed in the hospital for a week.
When I was discharged from the hospital, the pneumonia was cured, but it was still coughing, nasal congestion, runny nose, and we had to take it to the hospital, the doctor said that it was a viral cold, and I opened cold medicine to go home to eat, and I ate it for more than a week, cough and runny nose or not good, and occasionally accompanied by fever.
We changed another hospital to see, this diagnosis was confirmed, the doctor said that the child is a cold plus allergic rhinitis, light treatment of colds is not enough, but also to treat rhinitis.
If the diagnosis of rhinitis had been diagnosed earlier, maybe we would not have had to take so many detours, and now we use a nasal washer to wash the child's nose every day, and the situation of runny nose and nasal congestion is much better.
How can I tell if my child has rhinitis?
a. The nose is not ventilated, and there is no improvement after 10-14 days of cold. Accompanied by low heat!
b. Rub your nose frequently and make a "pitting" sound.
c. Coughs and sore throats are the heaviest at bedtime and when getting up.
d. Children have headaches, dizziness, easy fatigue, laziness, and changes in living habits.
e. Blowing the nose, there is a large amount of purulent discharge, or accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and lack of appetite.
Symptoms of rhinitis in your child
a. Nasal itching: children often rub their noses, sneeze continuously (suddenly, intensely) several times a day, paroxysmal continuous sneezing, followed by nasal congestion and runny nose, most pronounced in the morning and at night.
b. Runny nose: accompanied by sneezing, there is a large amount of clear water nasal discharge, which is pus when infected.
c. Nasal congestion: varying degrees of severity, unilateral or bilateral, intermittent or persistent, or alternating.

What should I do if my child has rhinitis?
If your child has a cold, a nose is not ventilated, and his hearing is affected, he must go to the department of five senses immediately! Many parents think it is a cold, and even some doctors treat it as a cold, and finally drag it into chronic rhinitis, and the child is still suffering.
During the onset of acute rhinitis, do not blow your nose vigorously to avoid the expansion of inflammation causing otitis media or sinusitis.
Buy a nasal washer yourself and wash your child's nose with salt water every day, which may be uncomfortable at first, but parents should not be soft-hearted, and it will be much better to stick to it for a while.
Keep indoor ventilation, if the weather is good, take your children out to bask in the sun, breathe in the fresh air, let your children participate in outdoor activities, and don't be bored at home.
Rhinitis and air quality also have a great relationship, parents can not take it lightly, and finally hope that babies can be healthy and healthy to welcome the New Year!
