Question

A parent has a history of chronic rhinitis and recently noticed that their 9-year-old child is experiencing symptoms of sneezing and blowing nose upon waking up in the morning, suspecting that the child may also have rhinitis and worrying about whether it was transmitted from the parent.

Answer

Rhinitis is a common condition, with treatment methods including applying a small amount of oil inside the nostrils daily, disinfecting cotton balls 2-3 times, and using cephalosporin antibiotics under medical guidance. It is recommended to combine treatment with rhinitis tablets and actively participate in sports to enhance physical resistance. Dietarily, it is advisable to consume more fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins. For any possible nasal symptoms in children, it is suggested to seek professional diagnosis and treatment advice from an otorhinolaryngology specialist.
