Question

What are the typical symptoms of pediatric allergic rhinitis? Is nosebleed related to allergic rhinitis if a child experiences it?

Answer

The typical symptoms of pediatric allergic rhinitis include runny nose, sneezing, nasal itching, and congestion. In addition, children may also experience eye itching, conjunctival congestion, and tearing. As for nosebleeds, although they are not direct symptoms of allergic rhinitis, some children may experience bleeding due to frequent nose picking and the rupture of capillaries. After excluding the possibility of blood diseases, if a child’s blood routine indicators are normal, then the nosebleed may be caused by nose picking.
