Question
What is the treatment for children’s nasal inflammation during the fall and winter, characterized by nasal congestion and a small amount of clear mucus?
Answer
The onset of allergic rhinitis is related to an individual’s allergic constitution and allergens in the environment. There is currently no definitive cure, including both Western and Chinese medicine as well as surgery. Long-term medication can have side effects and dependency. It is recommended to use physiological saline for nasal washing, which can help alleviate symptoms. It is important to perform nasal washing in two steps, first cleaning the nasal vestibule, then cleaning the deeper nasal passages, to avoid pushing dirt deeper into the nasal cavity. Regular maintenance of the nasal cavity can help reduce the recurrence of rhinitis.
