Can a 2-month-old baby with sticky nasal mucus cause rhinitis?

Whether a 2-month-old baby's nasal mucus causes rhinitis needs to be judged according to the specific situation. If it is caused by physiological factors, it generally does not cause rhinitis; However, if it is caused by pathological factors, it may lead to rhinitis.

1. Physiological factors

Because the newborn is just born, the body functions are not yet fully developed, so there is relatively little secretion in the nasal cavity, resulting in the above symptoms. This is a normal physiological phenomenon that does not require excessive concern or special treatment, and will gradually improve with age.

2. Pathological factors

1. Cold: If you don't pay attention to your own warmth in daily life or the indoor temperature is too high, it will lead to bacterial infection in the body, which will induce colds, and will also speed up the metabolism in the body, resulting in the above situations.Parents can use drugs such as paediatric aminophen xanthamine granules and acetaminophen drops for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Allergic rhinitis: It may be a disease caused by contact with allergens such as pollen and dust mites, and symptoms such as sneezing and watery nasal discharge will occur in the early stage of the disease, and even accompanied by itchy nose. At this time, you can take antihistamines as prescribed by your doctor, such as loratadine syrup, cetirizine hydrochloride oral solution, etc., or you can relieve it by local warm compresses.

In addition, it may also be caused by acute sinusitis and other reasons, so it is recommended to go to the pediatric otolaryngology department of a regular hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid delaying the condition.
