About rhinitis in children
Rhinitis is particularly stressful for children. Children are particularly affected if their nose is blocked and sore, and if a blocked nose is getting in the way of a good night's sleep.
The most frequent cause of children's rhinitis is a common cold, which affects children on average 8 times a year – significantly more often than adults. Hence, Children are affected by rhinitis very often. One reason for this is that children's immune systems are not yet completely developed – the protection against pathogens is not yet fully functional and so cold viruses can easily penetrate children's nasal mucous membranes and trigger rhinitis.
Furthermore children at kindergarten and at school are exposed to a higher risk of infection. Cold viruses are usually transmitted by droplet infection, for example, when talking, coughing or sneezing, but can also be transmitted via certain surfaces. They abound especially at kindergarten and school and can quickly pass from one child to another in the play group, classroom or playground, thereby reaching children's airways.
The mucosa in the child's nose performs an important immune function and, when fully intact, keeps germs in the airways at bay. When there is only inadequate defence against the cold viruses, these can penetrate the nasal mucous membranes and multiply there. In an attempt to remove the pathogens, the body reacts by boosting the blood supply to the nasal mucosa and producing more mucous. The otherwise already sensitive mucous membranes in the child's nose become irritated and swollen and the child's nose feels blocked, sore and dry. The blocked nose is particularly disruptive at night when it is getting in the way of a good night's sleep.
At this point, it is advisable to get gentle and effective help, which unblocks the child's congested nose and simultaneously supports the healing of the sensitive nasal mucous membranes. This is where nasic® for kids helps with its special combination of active ingredients: xylometazoline quickly frees children's congested noses, and dexpanthenol accelerates the healing of the irritated nasal mucosa. With a clear nose, children are happy to play again and they can build up their energy overnight for new adventures!
