According to the WeChat public account of Human Health:
rhinitis
Bad breath in children? Children with constipation? ......
Including children snoring, dark circles, frequent abdominal pain, nosebleeds, hyperactivity, twitching can be the cause of rhinitis!
Allergic rhinitis is more common in children, one in ten. But many parents do not understand it, thinking that only long-term runny nose is called rhinitis.
Yes, parents say that long-term runny nose, nasal itching, nasal congestion, sneezing, etc. are typical symptoms, in fact, rhinitis has many lesser-known atypical symptoms.
Atypical symptoms of rhinitis
1. Pigmentation around the eyes (dark circles)
Most people believe that the appearance of dark circles in children is related to liver and kidney disease, lack of sleep, or malnutrition. However, the latest research proves that dark circles in children are highly associated with allergic rhinitis.
Long-term allergies lead to hypertrophy of the child's turbinates, which in turn compresses the butterfly palate venous plexus, making the eyelid veins and corneal veins of the eyes congestion, and a gray-blue ring shadow appears under the orbit, forming dark circles.
2. Clear your throat
Children love to clear their throat or cough, especially when they wake up in the morning or go to bed at night.
This is because rhinitis produces a lot of nasal discharge, which flows into the throat behind the nose, and the child always wants to cough it up. Therefore, many children's long-term cough has been misdiagnosed, and parents also think that the child is inflamed in the throat, but in fact, the nose is inflamed.
3. Bad breath
Small children have bad breath, parents think that the child's spleen and stomach are not good, in fact, it may be long-term rhinitis can not be controlled, causing sinusitis.
On the one hand
Due to nasal congestion, the child breathes through the mouth for a long time, the mouth is dry and the tongue is dry, and the original saliva on the mouth is cleansed.
On the other hand
The purulent secretion produced by sinusitis is transmitted to the mouth and emits an unpleasant odor.
4. Nosebleeds
Allergic rhinitis invades the local mucous membrane of the nasal cavity, causing the capillaries to become brittle, when the air is relatively dry, the blood vessels are dry or easy to bleed after collision, and children are more likely to have nosebleeds.
5. Sleep dishonestly
In addition to eating too much at night, many times it is because of rhinitis that causes nasal congestion and poor breathing, so the child will turn over and over when he sleeps.
6. Frequent abdominal pain
Recurrent episodes of rhinitis, which induce colds, lead to repeated proliferation of lymph nodes in the abdomen, causing pain.
7. Grind your teeth
Why do some children love to grind their teeth in the middle of the night?
Because rhinitis causes the nose to flow backwards into the throat, the body mistakenly thinks that what is flowing through is food, so the chewing reflex appears, and the nasal discharge appears.
8. Constipation
Children with rhinitis often have protein allergies, indigestion of food, malabsorption, leading to constipation.
Tip Whether you really have rhinitis, you can't just look at the above symptoms, you should go to the hospital for special examination. The doctor will use the nasal mirror and endoscopy to give a correct diagnosis.
What should I do if I have been diagnosed with rhinitis?
Don't be afraid, remember the recipe: nose washing, medication and desensitization.
Wash your nose with saline; use medication regularly under the guidance of a doctor; and desensitize if mite allergies are allergic. As for the specific operation, come to the hospital for the guidance and help of professional doctors!
