Question
A parent inquires about their 5-year-old son’s frequent symptoms of nasal congestion and sneezing during sleep. The child struggles to breathe while sleeping and also experiences sneezing and nosebleeds. Despite consulting at Hulunbeier Hospital, the treatment has been ineffective, and the child has only been diagnosed with allergic inflammation. The parents hope to find a place that can test for allergens and seek assistance for a quick recovery.
Answer
Rhinitis refers to inflammation of the nasal mucosa and submucosal tissue, usually accompanied by congestion or swelling. Symptoms may include nasal blockage, clear nasal discharge, nasal itching, throat discomfort, and coughing. When inflammation occurs in the nasal cavity, a large amount of mucus is produced, which may turn yellow if infected. The mucus can also cause coughing when it passes through the throat, and may even drip from the nostrils when there is too much. The best treatment for rhinitis is typically surgery; it is advisable for patients to be fully aware of this and to seek treatment early on.
