Question
An 8-year-old child has been experiencing symptoms such as hiccups and runny nose since the age of 5. After being diagnosed with allergic rhinitis by several hospitals, the child has not seen significant improvement from long-term use of Western and Chinese medicine. Parents hope to understand which hospitals have shown significant and side-effect-free treatment for allergic rhinitis.
Answer
In such cases, it is recommended that parents take their child to a specialized otorhinolaryngology hospital for a detailed examination. Treatment options include using physiological saline to rinse the nasal cavity to stimulate the nasal mucosa, regional application of nasal oil, and oral antiallergic medication. If the condition is severe, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment process, the patient’s diet and psychological state are also important; it is essential to maintain a light diet and maintain an optimistic attitude to promote recovery from the illness.
