How should allergic rhinitis in children be treated?

Many parents are afraid to give their children hormones when they see the hormone ingredients. In fact, there is no need to worry too much about this situation. Just follow the doctor's instructions and use the medicine correctly. Using hormones to treat allergic rhinitis is the most effective and safest medicine. It can quickly relieve itching, redness, swelling and other adverse symptoms. Let us learn about the methods of treating allergic dermatitis in children.

Topical drugs for the treatment of allergic dermatitis in children

Hormone drugs can quickly relieve itching and redness

Commonly used hormone drugs include dexamethasone acetate, hydrocortisone, prednisone acetate (formerly known as prednisone) and triamcinolone acetonide. These ingredients can effectively inhibit the occurrence of local allergic reactions. Many parents are afraid to give their children the medicine when they see the "hormone" ingredient. In fact, as long as the medicine is used properly, the hormone ingredient is the safest and most effective medicine for treating allergic dermatitis, and can quickly relieve the symptoms of itching and redness and swelling. However, the following issues should also be noted during use:

* Improper use may cause skin scarring

The biggest safety issue with topical hormones is that if used improperly, they can cause hormone-dependent dermatitis, the specific manifestations of which include local capillary dilation, skin atrophy, and the formation of irreversible scars.

*Children under 5 years old need to be guided by a doctor before taking medication

For very young infants and young children, the use of hormone-containing products should be carried out under the guidance of a physician. For children over 5 years old, parents can buy some topical products containing hormones (such as compound dexamethasone acetate cream, trade name: Piyanping) at the pharmacy.

*Do not use in large quantities or over large areas

Topical hormone ingredients can be absorbed through the skin, especially when the skin at the medication site is broken, the medication area is too large, the dosage is too high, and the medication time is too long. When the absorbed drugs reach a certain concentration in the blood, they may cause adverse reactions such as decreased resistance and delayed growth and development in children.

If a child suffers from allergic dermatitis, parents should be careful not to scratch or scratch with their hands as this can easily cause bacterial infection in the wound and aggravate the child's condition. Parents need to take the child to the hospital for treatment immediately to prevent the child's condition from worsening. Normally, the affected area should be cleaned with clean water.
