Question
Allergic rhinitis is a common issue for children, and even after taking medication, symptoms may not improve, causing distress for parents. How should one alleviate children’s allergic rhinitis to help them overcome this malady?
Answer
Allergic rhinitis currently has no definitive cure, but symptoms can be controlled through a series of measures. Firstly, it is recommended to undergo allergen testing to understand and avoid contact with allergens. Additionally, preventing colds, applying cold compresses to the nose, and strengthening physical exercises to enhance constitution can all help alleviate symptoms of allergic rhinitis. For children with more severe symptoms, nasal sprays or oral antiallergic medications such as loratadine can be used, and it is suggested to use physiological saline water to clean the nasal cavity. For children with particularly severe symptoms, immediate medical attention should be sought and follow the doctor’s treatment plan.
