Question

My child is eight years old; they get a fever when it’s cold and have been running a nose ever since, taking a long time to recover. Previous treatment and effectiveness: took medication for allergic rhinitis. Concerns: How can this condition be permanently cured?

Answer

Considering your child’s situation, there is a possibility of allergic rhinitis. In addition to common treatment methods, you can give your child saline nasal irrigation, using normal saline without any side effects. It may take longer to work compared to medication, but it can be very effective for those without turbinate hypertrophy or nasal polyps. It’s important to maintain good nasal hygiene to reduce the likelihood of allergic rhinitis recurrence. Wishing your child good health.
