Question
My child’s nose is blocked no matter what I do, and I don’t know what the situation is.
Answer
Congestion is one of the symptoms of rhinitis, and nasal congestion caused by a fever usually heals within 1 to 2 weeks. However, if the congestion persists after two weeks, it may be due to rhinitis. In addition to common medication treatments for rhinitis, you can also try using saline nasal irrigation, which may take longer to see results but can be highly effective for those without turbinate hypertrophy or nasal polyps if done consistently over time. Regular nasal care can also help reduce the chance of rhinitis outbreaks.
