Abstract
Rhinitis is an inflammation of the nasal mucosa with rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, sneezing and nasal itching. Rhinitis can be acute or chronic (allergic rhinitis, non-infectious rhinitis, infectious rhinitis) with nasal symptoms, ophthalmological symptoms, ear congestion, sore throat, postnasal drip, cough. Up to 98% of cases of acute infectious rhinitis develop against the background of an acute respiratory viral infection. The pathogenesis of acute viral rhinitis and acute viral sinusitis is based on nasal congestion, difficulty in mucociliary transport and blockage of the paranasal sinuses. When prescribing treatment for children with acute viral rhinitis and acute rhinosinusitis, it is necessary to take into account the age and weight of the child, use elimination therapy and improve drainage of the paranasal sinuses. The use in pediatric clinical practice of the combined decongestant, which includes α2-adrenomimetic and dexpanthenol, is effective and safe in the treatment of almost all conditions accompanied by nasal congestion, promotes rapid restoration of nasal breathing.
