Introduction
Children with rhinitis often have difficulty concentrating, primarily because rhinitis causes certain stimulation to the nervous system. When rhinitis occurs, poor nasal ventilation affects oxygen supply to the brain, leading to symptoms such as inattention and memory decline due to hypoxia. Therefore, once symptoms appear, it is recommended to seek timely medical treatment at a hospital to avoid prolonged irritation.
Children with rhinitis often experience difficulty concentrating, primarily because rhinitis can cause certain stimulation to the nervous system.
In daily life, impaired nasal ventilation due to rhinitis affects oxygen supply to the brain, which may lead to symptoms such as inattention and memory decline caused by hypoxia. Therefore, once symptoms appear, it is recommended to seek timely medical treatment at a hospital to prevent prolonged stimulation from adversely affecting the child's brain development. After onset of the condition, saline solution can be used initially for local nasal irrigation to clear secretions, along with budesonide spray or fluticasone propionate spray to reduce inflammation of the nasal mucosa. If the child has known allergies, oral antihistamines such as cetirizine tablets or loratadine tablets may be taken under medical guidance.
During treatment, dietary habits should also be carefully managed, focusing on high-protein, high-vitamin foods while minimizing intake of spicy and irritating foods.
