Question
Why does my baby get tracheitis every time they have a cold? Besides the baby liking to rub their eyes, the doctor also mentioned it might be hereditary rhinitis. Is that the case? What kind of assistance do I need?
Answer
Hello, hereditary rhinitis can indeed lead to similar symptoms. There are many types of hereditary rhinitis, including chronic simple rhinitis, chronic hypertrophic rhinitis, caseous rhinitis, and atrophic rhinitis. Depending on the severity and duration of the disease, it can be classified as acute or chronic rhinitis. Treatment for rhinitis mainly focuses on the cause of the disease, and different types of rhinitis require different medications. For example, allergic rhinitis can be treated with antihistamines like Hismanal or Pseudoephedrine, while chronic rhinitis can be treated with drugs like Hua Dan Wan or various nasal spray tablets. Vitamin supplements may be necessary for atrophic rhinitis. Laser or microwave therapy can be used to improve nasal blockage and sneezing symptoms, but it may not necessarily resolve the issue of runny nose. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing your baby good health!
