Question
Children with allergic rhinitis commonly experience symptoms such as nasal congestion, stuffiness, itching, dryness, and sneezing. Although various medications have been tried, concerns about side effects arise. Parents are interested in trying children’s-specific nasal oils, but they wonder if there are any side effects and if they can alleviate the symptoms of allergic rhinitis without a cure.
Answer
Allergic rhinitis in children may lead to nasal narrowing, affecting ventilation and consequently reducing blood oxygen concentration. Therefore, children might breathe through their mouths while sleeping. In daily life, it is important to avoid exposure to allergens. It is advisable to seek medical attention promptly, as the doctor will tailor a medication treatment plan based on the child’s specific condition.
