What to do if your child has rhinitis

Children with allergic rhinitis may suffer from nasal congestion and runny nose, fever, cough, lack of energy, loss of appetite and irritability. They may also suffer from otitis media, nosebleeds and joint pain. Older children may have headaches. Chronic rhinitis will cause more common symptoms, so it is necessary to treat rhinitis in a timely manner in daily life.

Children's rhinitis mainly includes sinusitis, some pharyngitis and some allergic rhinitis. The treatment of children's rhinitis in daily life is also relatively critical. The main characteristics of children's rhinitis are that children's body resistance is poor and their ability to adapt to changes in the external environment is relatively poor.

Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: Jiang's rhinitis ointment is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine treatment. The traditional Chinese medicine formula includes 30 grams of Xanthium sibiricum, 20 grams of Magnolia officinalis, 35 grams of Scutellaria baicalensis, 4 grams of Asarum, 25 grams of Angelica dahurica, 10 grams of Gentiana scabra and other Chinese herbal medicines. It is done through manual process, with careful selection of medicines, drying, grinding, and external application twice a day. It is not only effective for children's rhinitis, but also has good effects on other rhinitis.

Currently, there are two methods used for children with allergic rhinitis: one is to avoid allergens, and the other is sublingual immune desensitization therapy.

Specific immunotherapy (desensitization sublingual therapy)

Rhinitis caused by allergy to dust mites. The patient's immunological indicators also changed before and after sublingual dust mite immunotherapy. Because the sublingual mucosal tissue is thin, these Langerhans cells located on the mucosal surface will capture the signal of the presence of allergens when they come into contact with antigens. The allergen vaccine can be quickly absorbed, thereby initiating a desensitization reaction. Including increased serum IgG4 levels and improved Th2/Th1 cell ratio. Since the drug is administered sublingually, serious adverse reactions such as anaphylactic shock usually do not occur. A very small number of patients may occasionally experience mild rash or mild diarrhea, which can be recovered by stopping treatment or reducing the dosage. The mechanism of sublingual desensitization therapy is that there are a large number of Langerhans cells in the sublingual mucosa, which absorb trace amounts of dust mite allergens and process them into mite polypeptide information, which are then presented to Th0 cells, causing the Th0 cells to transform into Th1 cells, thereby preventing the occurrence of allergic reactions.

High safety: Globally, no serious side effects have occurred in 30 years of use, which maximizes the long-term safety of desensitization therapy; it avoids serious systemic adverse reactions (including anaphylactic shock and even death) that may be caused by injectable desensitization therapy, thereby reducing the psychological burden on medical staff and patients.

The above is what to do if your child has rhinitis. Some causes of rhinitis are upper respiratory tract infections that cause acute respiratory infections. Therefore, if you do not pay attention to cleanliness in daily life, it will lead to this type of symptoms. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods are also relatively critical. In terms of diet, you can adjust your diet to eat more light foods and less spicy and irritating foods.
