Question
“How should pediatric allergic rhinitis be treated?”
Answer
“Early treatment for pediatric allergic rhinitis typically involves the use of anti-allergy medications. However, if the inflammation has spread to the middle ear and throat, simple medication may have limited effectiveness. At this point, considering a selective nerve block surgery may be an option. This minimally invasive surgery involves blocking certain nerves to reduce the excitability of the parasympathetic nerves in the nasal cavity, thereby improving nasal ventilation and suppressing allergic reactions.”
