Generally, rhinitis is divided into hereditary rhinitis and acquired rhinitis. Some cases of rhinitis persist, while others are intermittent. But when rhinitis attacks, it is always uncomfortable. Usually, there will be runny nose, sneezing, and nasal congestion during rhinitis attacks. So, does pediatric rhinitis affect breathing?
Pediatric rhinitis may affect breathing. Different types of rhinitis may have different symptoms. When the symptoms of rhinitis are severe, it can affect breathing. In severe cases, the nasal mucosa of the nose may swell and block the respiratory tract. A mild case of rhinitis is a runny nose and sneezing, with no swelling of the nasal mucosa.
Rhinitis has a significant impact on children. Firstly, it can affect the appearance of children, as rhinitis can affect normal breathing and lead to prolonged mouth opening and breathing, resulting in thicker lips and protruding teeth. It will affect the intelligence of children. When rhinitis develops into chronic rhinitis, it can cause headaches, poor breathing, and long-term chronic hypoxia in the body, affecting normal brain development and intelligence.
Children should learn to prevent rhinitis in their daily lives. From a young age, it is important for children to pay attention to the hygiene of their nasal cavity. Do not always pick their nose with your hands, and be careful when wiping their nose. When sinusitis occurs, it is important to exercise and do endurance exercises to improve immunity, and seek early treatment to avoid chronic rhinitis.
