Question
A 9-year-old child suffers from seasonal allergic rhinitis and experiences sneezing during each change of season, accompanied by asthma. Can the child drink yogurt?
Answer
For a long time, if pediatric allergic rhinitis is not effectively treated, it may affect the constitution. Here are some dietary suggestions: (1) For children with weak digestion, prone to diarrhea, bloating, and loss of appetite, try using pigeon, dang shen, fu ling, red dates, and chuan qi as ingredients and herbs, simmered over low heat for 4 hours, consumed once every two days. (2) For children who often catch colds, use astragalus, white atractylodes, fang feng, and lotus seeds as ingredients and herbs, cooked with pork lung, consumed once every two days. (3) For children with poor memory and easy fatigue, use sheep kidney, goji berries, lamb meat, and American ginseng as ingredients and herbs, consumed once every two days. Allergic rhinitis is a civilization disease, but it is not incurable. The purpose of treatment is not only to eliminate symptoms but also to prevent complications such as otitis media, insomnia, learning difficulties, memory decline, sore throat, headache, coughing, fatigue, and sinusitis.
