Question
What are the symptoms of pediatric allergic rhinitis?
Answer
The symptoms of pediatric allergic rhinitis typically include nasal congestion, sneezing, clear runny nose, and itchy nasal passages. These symptoms may resemble those of the early stages of a cold, but they usually persist for a longer duration and without fever or other cold symptoms. To confirm the diagnosis, a nasal endoscopy or allergy testing may be required. After determining the cause, the doctor will develop an appropriate treatment plan, which may include antihistamines and local nasal sprays.
