Parents who have children with allergic rhinitis already know. Turn-and-move the child's nose is clogged and itches, sneezes she has itchy throat and ear. But beyond these most common symptoms of allergies, studies show that discomforts such as headaches, ear and facial pressure also appear in children who suffer from the problem.

"One of the consequences is allergy swell the mucous skin. If this swelling happens, for example, in the cavity of the sinuses, there is an air outlet obstruction and secretions of the region, which causes facial pressure, "says Victor Nudelman, children's allergist Albert Einstein Hospital (SP).

According to Olavo de Godoy Mion, otolaryngologist at Hospital Santa Catarina (SP), chronic rhinitis still end up bringing other problems for the child. "Ear, nose and throat are interconnected. If the child's nose is clogged, your communication with the ear is affected and there may be infections and hearing problems, for example, "he says.

And of course, these allergy manifestations impair the child's quality of life. As she has difficulty breathing, sleep badly, which interferes with their growth and school learning. Therefore, the ideal is to pay attention if these symptoms arise and seek a professional as soon as possible.

What is allergic rhinitis

Rhinitis is an inflammation of the nose and mucous membranes of the sinuses of allergic origin. It is a reaction to proteins of biological beings, such as pollen and the animals. But there is a rhinitis is not allergic, but irritative due to a chemical agent. "Who is not allergic will have no problem to smell a flower. But cigarette smoke, for example, will generate an independent rhinitis that person has or not allergy, "says Olav.

Remember that the allergy can occur at any time of life. If the child is born with the gene to have the reaction, the problem will manifest only when it comes into contact with the allergen. However, this does not happen from one moment to the other. The disease will develop gradually as they are exposed to what causes sensitivity.

The best when it comes to allergies is prevention, that is, stay away from the causes. But this does not remove the need to use drugs in some cases. An ENT tip is to wash every day the nose with saline to hinder the contact of allergens with mucous membranes.
