Question
My baby is five and a half years old, has an allergic constitution, and is allergic to dust mites. The hospital diagnosed her with allergic rhinitis. Recently, she often feels stuffy, itchy nose, and the mucus is hard to expel. She has been using the nasal spray and nasal wash prescribed by the doctor. After two weeks of treatment, we asked whether we can stop taking the medicine.
Answer
It is recommended not to stop the medication on your own. Continue using it for one month and consult with the doctor for dosage adjustment after one month based on symptom changes. Dust mites mainly live in human dander, so reducing and cleaning dander helps lower the dust mite concentration in the air. As for bed linen material, it is not a key factor. For children with allergic rhinitis, it is advisable to seek consultation with a specialist doctor and receive treatment under their guidance. In daily life, pay attention to dietary adjustment, drink more water, and hope that the child can recover soon.
