First, allergic rhinitis
Allergic rhinitis, also known as allergic rhinitis, is mainly characterized by nasal congestion, itchy nose, sneezing and runny nose. , and often presents seasonal or perennial attacks. The disease is on the rise with the decline of air quality, and the incidence population is mainly children over 2 years old.
Typical symptoms of allergic rhinitis:
Nasal itching: histamine causes nasal absorption, nasal wing wrinkling and nasal wiping;
Runny nose: allergies lead to increased mucus secretion, and clear water has a runny nose and can't stop;
Sneezing: Stimulate the sensory nerves at the nasal mucosa to sneeze involuntarily;
Nasal congestion: congestion and edema of nasal mucosa cause discomfort to children, and in severe cases, breathing with open mouth, unstable sleep and snoring;
Cough: inflammatory factors stimulate cough receptors-cough at night; My nose runs back to my throat and trachea-I had a bad cough in the morning.
Second, adenoid hypertrophy.
Do children snore when they sleep?
Is the child nasal?
Children's hearing loss?
Adenoid hypertrophy is a common and frequently-occurring disease in children, and it is a pathological hyperplasia of adenoids caused by repeated stimulation of inflammation. If you have the above symptoms, parents should pay attention, which may be a signal of adenoidal hypertrophy. Adenoid hypertrophy has serious consequences for children's growth and development!
Local symptoms of adenoidal hypertrophy:
Nasopharyngeal stenosis in children, such as adenoid hypertrophy blocking the posterior nostril and pharyngeal orifice of eustachian tube, can cause otorhinolaryngology symptoms.
(1) Ear symptoms: Hypertrophic adenoids can be used as a "secret room" for pathogenic microorganisms, and pathogenic microorganisms can easily retrograde to the middle ear, causing suppurative otitis media, with symptoms such as earache, ear swelling and hearing loss.
(2) Nasal symptoms: Rhinitis, sinusitis, stuffy nose and runny nose are often complicated. Speak with an occluded nasal sound, snore during sleep, and in severe cases, sleep apnea occurs.
(3) Symptoms of pharynx, larynx and lower respiratory tract: As secretions flow downwards and stimulate respiratory mucosa, it often causes cough at night and is easy to be complicated with tracheitis.
(4) Adenoid face: As a result of breathing with the mouth open for a long time, the facial bone development is blocked, the jaw bone becomes longer, the palate bone is high, the dentition is uneven, the upper incisors protrude, and the lips are thick and expressionless, forming the so-called "adenoid face".
Systemic symptoms of adenoidal hypertrophy:
Children with adenoid hypertrophy are often accompanied by anorexia, vomiting and indigestion, which leads to malnutrition; Snoring for a long time, holding your breath at night, will make the child in a state of hypoxia, the whole body organ dysfunction, resulting in growth and development obstacles. At the same time, there will be symptoms such as inattention, changeable mood, night terrors, grinding teeth, night sweats, bed wetting and so on. There are even headaches in the morning, drowsiness during the day and learning difficulties.
Third, otitis media.
Otitis media is a non-suppurative inflammatory disease of the middle ear caused by obstruction or obstruction of eustachian tube (an organ that connects nasopharyngeal cavity and middle ear cavity and regulates middle ear air pressure). Compared with the adult eustachian tube, the eustachian tube in children is flatter, the lumen is shorter and the inner diameter is wider, so inflammation is more likely to enter the middle ear and cause secretory otitis media. According to the survey, 80%-90% of children aged three to five have suffered from otitis media!
Once the following symptoms appear, parents should pay attention!
1. Hearing loss: Most patients had a cold history before the onset of acute otitis media, followed by earache and hearing loss, accompanied by a sense of self-hearing enhancement. Sometimes, with the change of body position, hearing is good or bad, and some chronic patients will feel that deafness is aggravated on cloudy days and alleviated on sunny days. Some children show that they ignore the call of adults and are mistaken for inattention.
2. Earache and stuffy feeling: Earache may occur in the acute onset period, mostly manifested as stuffy feeling in the ear. The main performance of infants and young children is pulling their ears.
3. Tinnitus: mostly intermittent, and the symptoms are generally not heavy.
Children's otolaryngology diseases are harmful, so we should treat them as soon as possible!
Children's ear, nose and throat diseases are harmful, so parents should never underestimate them! Seize the best period of summer vacation treatment and charge the "health" of children. Have you noticed these things about children?
Nasal congestion, nasal itching, nasal congestion and repeated inflammation of tonsils; Hearing loss, sense of smell loss, snoring during sleep; Runny nose, nosebleeds; Ear itching, ear pain, ear pus; Exposure of upper incisors ......
Research shows that:
Rhinitis and sinusitis lead to poor breathing and systemic hypoxia, which affects children's growth and development, memory decline, academic performance decline and hearing decline.
Ear swelling, stuffy ear, earache, running water in ear canal, etc. It will cause perforation of the eardrum and damage the auditory nerve!
Adenoids and tonsil hypertrophy can lead to short stature and abnormal facial development!
After seeing these hazards, do you dare to ignore your child's ear, nose and throat diseases?
