Question
My little one has been having trouble breathing through their nose lately, with clear mucus and occasional sneezing. I checked their body temperature, and they don’t have a fever, so I suspect they might have a bit of a rhinitis. But I’m not quite sure. Can you tell me what the symptoms of pediatric nasal inflammation are?
Answer
The symptoms of pediatric sinusitis include headache, nasal congestion, and the discharge of yellow or thick mucus. In some cases where the inflammation is severe, it can also cause a decrease in hearing. The symptoms of pediatric allergic rhinitis include sneezing, clear mucus discharge, itching inside the nose, and sometimes itching in the eyes and ears. Based on the symptoms you described, your child might have allergic rhinitis. It is recommended to avoid spicy foods for the child and to rinse the nasal cavity with physiological saline solution daily.
