Question
A 3-year-old child is suffering from allergic rhinitis and experiencing snoring during sleep. After a thorough examination, the doctor recommended surgical treatment. The parents want to know if surgery is necessary and if there are other methods to alleviate the snoring caused by allergic rhinitis in children?
Answer
For the described situation, surgical treatment may yield better results, but considering the child’s young age, it is generally not recommended to undergo surgery lightly unless necessary. It is suggested to strengthen the child’s warmth measures, try to avoid catching a cold, and observe the situation for a period of time to see if there is any improvement. If the child experiences symptoms such as headaches or dizziness, then surgery may need to be considered. If there are no other special circumstances, it is recommended to make regular follow-up visits for checks. Additionally, during the treatment of allergic rhinitis in children, diet and care are also very important; it is important to focus on a light diet to reduce unnecessary health risks.
