The stuffy nose and runny nose are the two main symptoms of rhinitis, and 80% of children will have this symptom. In terms of medication, nasal hormone spray treatment is preferred and should be standardized according to the age of the child, choosing the right medication. These drugs should be used for a long time, and it is recommended that they be used for more than one month, and then gradually reduced after the symptoms are completely relieved; secondly, oral histamines can relieve nasal mucosal edema, reduce nasal congestion, and alleviate the symptoms of itchy nose, itchy eyes, sneezing and so on.
If the symptoms of runny nose are more serious, you can use saline to wash the nasal cavity to reduce the symptoms of mucosal edema. Home remedies for nasal congestion. Fried smoked method: with a small handful of green onions or scallions (onions) three or four chopped and fried soup, inhale the hot air through the nose, or use boiled vinegar to inhale the vinegar gas, the efficacy is better. Filling method: smash the onion to take its juice, cotton into the nostrils, or garlic cloves cut into a cylindrical shape slightly smaller than the nostrils, with a thin layer of cotton or gauze wrapped into the nostrils, the effect is also good.
Commonly used medication to treat the drug, ipratropium bromide (ipratropium bromide) spray. Placebo-controlled trials have confirmed that reasonable relief of a runny nose and nasal sprays is good on the first day of the initial history of present illness. The key side effect is bloody mucus in 15% to 20% of patients. Pseudoephedrine: effective on respiratory mucosal alpha-adrenergic protein kinase, relieves nasal mucosal hematomas, and has little effect on cardiac and other peripheral vascular alpha-protein kinases. Relieves nasal congestion and improves sleep quality. Should not be used for a long time, limited to 3 to 5 days.
Antihistamines: first-generation antihistamines such as chlorpheniramine fumarate (pulmin) is reasonable to reduce nasal spray and nasal discharge, and should be used with caution in older people with prostatic hyperplasia. Non-sedative antihistamines lack anticholinergic efficacy and their actual effectiveness is not in doubt. Antipyretics and analgesics: are available in patients with fever and muscle pain and headache. Acetaminophen (ibuprofen tablets) is the most common. Zidovudine should be prevented in combination with anti-HIV drugs. Repeated use of aspirin may increase the excretion of viral infections, but the efficacy in improving symptoms is mild and not strongly recommended.
