Recently, Ms. Wang, who lives in Wuhan, found that her daughter was always inattentive when doing homework. She would rub her ears with her hands when she had nothing to do. At first, Ms. Wang thought it was because the child was playful. The class teacher of the first few children called and said that the child was distracted during class and could not hear roll calls. He liked to touch his ears during class. Is there something wrong with his ears? He suggested that Ms. Wang take the child to a professional hospital for examination. . So Ms. Wang took her daughter to the hospital. Without examination, she would not have known that the nose was the cause of the problem and the child had secretory otitis media. The cause turned out to be allergic rhinitis. Previously, the child\’s frequent sneezing, runny nose and even coughing caused Ms. Wang to think that the child had a cold due to the large temperature difference between seasons. Only after listening to the doctor\’s detailed explanation did she realize that these were symptoms of rhinitis. Ms. Wang felt angry and annoyed at her carelessness. After a night of spring breeze, it seems that the whole world is a sea of flowers, the wonderland of ten miles of peach blossoms, the tearful pear blossoms as white as snow, the colorful fallen cherry blossoms, the golden rapeseed flowers…the most beautiful April day in the world. Unfortunately, the good times didn\’t last long. I sneezed several times in a row. I don\’t know who thought it was so bad. I had runny nose and tears, and I suffered countless grievances. Then the nose became stuffy, the eyes became itchy, and even the brain began to feel dizzy and painful – an allergic rhinitis attack! Allergic rhinitis in spring is mainly caused by inhaling tree pollen. Infants and young children have immature immune systems. These inhaled pollen are regarded as foreign bodies that damage the body, and then activate the immune response to produce antibodies. The next time the body is exposed to allergies, Antibodies will bind to the allergen. During this binding process, the body releases inflammatory substances that cause symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion. Borrowing from the voice of an allergic rhinitis patient I saw on the Internet: I sneeze 10 times every morning to greet you. I rely on one mouth to breathe every night when I sleep. You can go out without money, but you must not bring paper. A thousand words can be said: These years have been spent. The snot + tears that have passed through are longer than the water in the Yellow River. My biggest wish is not world peace – but a clear nose. Whenever I hear that rhinitis can be cured, I have to try them all: secret recipes handed down from ancestors, nose washing with cold water, Erythromycin eye ointment, even the masters in the kitchen are not immune: sesame oil, scallion, white radish water… According to a large number of epidemiological surveys at home and abroad, the prevalence of allergic rhinitis has increased significantly in recent years. This is related to environmental pollution, environmental changes, changes in living habits, allergies and genetics, as well as changes in dietary structure, etc. And the prevalence in children is higher than in adults. When the nasal cavity is infected by bacteria or viruses, the function of the sinuses in clearing secretions will be damaged, causing the sinus openings to be blocked, preventing secretions from being discharged, causing nasal congestion, producing yellow-green pus and nasal mucus, and causing cough due to reflux of nasal mucus. This is sinusitis. Sinusitis can cause swelling of the head and face, headaches, and in severe cases may lead to infections of the brain, eyes, and lungs, and even death. Because the nasal cavity is connected to the nasopharyngeal cavity, and the side wall of the nasopharyngeal cavity is where the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube opens, the pharynxThe other end of the tympanic tube leads to the tympanum of the middle ear. The Eustachian tube in children is shorter, wider and flatter than that of adults. Therefore, inflammation of the nasal cavity and sinuses is easier to enter the middle ear through the Eustachian tube. Choanal polyps and the enlargement of the posterior end of the inferior turbinate can directly compress the throat tube. The opening affects the ventilation and drainage of the middle ear, causing secretory otitis media. Many cases of secretory otitis media do not discharge pus or cause ear pain, but they can unknowingly lead to hearing loss in children. Children often delay treatment due to their limited ability to express themselves. For example, Ms. Wang’s daughter was misunderstood and criticized by her parents for not paying attention. If a child suffers from chronic rhinitis for a long time, it can cause nasal cavity stenosis and affect breathing, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply to the brain, affecting cell division and development, and thus affecting intellectual development. Children will have difficulty concentrating in class, poor thinking, and poor memory. Many children have symptoms of snoring when sleeping at night. Parents think this is because they played too hard during the day and are too tired to sleep well at night. Actually this is not the case. Due to the repeated inflammatory stimulation of allergic rhinitis, children sometimes develop a disease caused by adenoid hypertrophy. The medical name is \”Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS)\”. The symptom is snoring during sleep. Purr. The British \”Daily Telegraph\” once conducted such a survey and conducted long-term follow-up and analysis of relevant data on more than 10,000 children. Those children who had snoring and other sleep problems when they were about two and a half years old, by the age of about seven, The risk of developing ADHD is 85% higher than other children, and the risk of behavioral problems is 60% higher than other children. Although this study only reveals a connection, it cannot prove that it is the cause. Young children\’s brains are developing rapidly, and we all know the importance of sleep for brain development. However, snoring affects sleep, and nasal congestion during the day can lead to poor mood, depression, and temper tantrums. Mouth breathing at night results in poor sleep quality. This will cause the development of certain functional areas in the brain to be affected, thereby affecting the child\’s behavior and even developmental delays! Although humans have been fighting various diseases, and there are various folk remedies for rhinitis, unfortunately, as far as current medical methods are concerned, there is still no way to cure allergic rhinitis, whether in adults or children. This is a systematic project, related to the body\’s immune system and allergic reactions. We need comprehensive control and overall management. Let the body coexist peacefully with inflammation, and prevention is better than cure. For example: When taking children for outdoor activities, avoid the peak period of pollen transmission in spring, especially on dry and windy days. Try to wear a mask when going out to reduce contact with nasal cavity and allergens such as pollen. After returning home, change clothes promptly, wash your face, and clean your nasal cavity with salt water, which can effectively prevent bacteria from infecting the Eustachian tube and isolate allergens. Keep the room dry and ventilated, often dry quilts in the sun, change bed sheets and quilt covers frequently, and disinfect with boiling water. Eliminate house dust mites and reduce stuffed or stuffed toys. Live a regular life, have a balanced diet, strengthen physical exercise, and enhance your physical fitness. Warm reminder: Once you are diagnosed with allergic rhinitis, you should take active and careful precautions andTo carry out standardized drug treatment, you cannot leave it alone. Go to a regular hospital, find a professional and reliable doctor, follow the doctor\’s instructions and provide standardized treatment, and use sufficient amounts of medication.
