Features of the treatment of rhinopharyngitis in children

Rhinopharyngitis is a disease characterized by inflammation of the nasal mucosa and pharynx. Most often this is a complication after an acute form of rhinitis. The child experiences pain during swallowing. Treatment of rhinopharyngitis should be started as soon as possible, otherwise it can go into a chronic form.

Types and symptoms of

The symptoms of the disease are determined by taking into account what form it was diagnosed.

Acute

Recognize the acute form of the pathological process in children, for such symptoms as nasal congestion, sneezing. Since there is an accumulation of secretions in the nasal cavity, the baby has difficulty in feeding. He is forced to constantly throw out his chest to get another portion of air through his mouth. Because of this baby can not eat and lose weight. To facilitate his breathing, you need to tilt his head slightly.

At first, the nose discharge diseases have a liquid consistency, they are transparent, but over time they become viscous and mucous. Sometimes from a nose there can be a pus. Due to the fact that the discharge from the nose irritates the skin, redness arises. It is extremely rare from the nasal cavity, along with mucus can be allocated blood veins. In the posterior sections of the nasal cavity, stagnation of mucus is observed, which arises from a complicated outflow. Thus, the nasal passages narrow even more, and the child is no longer able to breathe fully.

If we consider the acute course of rhinopharyngitis in older children, the characteristic signs of them are sore throat, headache and body aches. A frequent symptom of the pathology remains stuffy in the ears and hearing loss.

This indicates that the inflammatory process has struck the Eustachian tube. The voice becomes nasal. In the future, there may be pain in the ear. Lymph nodes, located on the neck and under the jaw, increase in size.

As for the temperature indicators, they can rise to high levels, although there are cases when the increase is insignificant. In young patients, a convulsive condition may arise due to a rise in body temperature.

In case of acute inflammation of the pharynx, in addition to the pain syndrome, a cough occurs. During the examination of the throat, the doctor diagnoses reddening of the mucosa and mucus that moves along the back wall of the pharynx, which can lead to vomiting in the child. There are situations when, instead of vomiting, the child has diarrhea and flatulence.

Chronic
