Due to the weak resistance of children, they are easily infected with acute rhinitis in daily life. If this disease occurs, children will experience symptoms such as dizziness, fever, nasal congestion, and runny nose, which will affect their daily life. So, is acute rhinitis in children serious?
1. If a child is found to have acute rhinitis, do not panic too much. This is a self limiting disease, and the symptoms of the child will generally improve in about 7 or 10 days. The body will gradually recover to a normal state. Therefore, acute rhinitis is not very serious, but attention should be paid to taking care of the child, because fever is one of the common symptoms after acute rhinitis in children. When fever occurs, it is necessary to take good care of it.
2. If parents notice that their child has a fever, they should measure the child's temperature in a timely manner. If the fever is only mild, there is no need to worry too much because it will not have a serious impact on the child's body. They can use a wet towel to apply a cold compress on the forehead to cool the child down. If the child's temperature rises rapidly and has already passed 38.5 degrees, it should be taken seriously.
3. Because if a child's body temperature is too high, it may cause metabolic disorders, electrolyte imbalances, or precise conditions, which can have a serious impact on the body. You can follow the doctor's advice and use some antipyretic drugs for treatment. This can quickly control the child's body temperature and restore it to normal. Of course, it is important to pay attention to the child's warmth and keep an eye on weather changes, and adjust clothing accordingly.
