Question

Does pediatric allergic rhinitis have complications?

Answer

Allergic rhinitis in children can trigger various complications, such as severe breathing difficulties and headaches. If not controlled in time, it may lead to complications like sinusitis, adenoiditis, otitis media, pharyngitis, bronchitis, and asthma, which can even affect the child’s memory and intellectual development, thereby impacting learning and growth. Chronic nasal congestion and mouth breathing may also affect the development of the face and chest.
