Children with allergic rhinitis will recover by themselves at the age of 9

Every child has different physical fitness. Some children are born with allergic constitutions, especially allergic rhinitis, which occurs from time to time and affects the normal development of children. Some people think that children with allergic rhinitis will heal themselves at the age of 9, so there is no need for treatment. In fact, this idea is not correct. Allergic rhinitis still needs to be treated in time when it occurs. In order to avoid recurring attacks, effective prevention can be carried out in daily life, otherwise it will become more and more serious.

Will children's allergic rhinitis heal itself when they grow up?

Will children's allergic rhinitis heal itself as they grow older? Allergic rhinitis in children is a multifactorial disease caused by the interaction between genes and the environment. It is unscientific to say that it will heal itself as they grow older.

Many children with allergic rhinitis, if not treated in time, will experience worsening symptoms as they age, and about 10% to 30% will develop allergic asthma. It can also cause memory loss, lack of concentration, affect learning, and even lead to sinusitis, nasal polyps, insomnia, and suffocation.

How to treat allergic rhinitis in children

Will children's allergic rhinitis heal itself as they grow up? Allergic rhinitis needs early intervention and control. Current methods for treating allergic rhinitis include taking antiallergic drugs, intranasal hormones, desensitization therapy, etc. Antiallergic drugs and intranasal hormones are the main treatment methods at present. They are "symptomatic treatments", but symptoms are prone to recurrence after discontinuation of the drugs. Patients should follow the doctor's instructions and use the drugs in a standardized manner.

Desensitization therapy is a "cause treatment" and is suitable for patients with moderate to severe allergic rhinitis who have attacks more than 4 days a week and more than 1 month a year. The treatment course must last at least 3 years. These patients can start desensitization therapy at the age of five. At this time, the human immune system is not fully developed, so treatment is more advantageous.

3 How should parents take care of children with allergic rhinitis?

1. The room should have a certain humidity and temperature (not too hot), and the air should be circulating.

2. Avoid children’s contact with allergens.

3. Take and apply medicine on time.

4. Children with allergic rhinitis are often irritable and have severely blocked noses, so they often keep their mouths open and have dry mouths, so they need to drink more water.

5.

For children with allergic rhinitis, parents should pay special attention to their children's diet. They should try to avoid feeding their children foods that contain large amounts of foreign proteins and may cause allergies, such as marine fish, shrimps, eggs, etc. They should also avoid eating too greasy food and drink less sugary drinks.

6.

To prevent allergic rhinitis in children, parents should let their children exercise more, strengthen their physical fitness, enhance their resistance, avoid long-term stimulation from dust and harmful gases, and actively prevent and treat acute respiratory infectious diseases. Parents can also guide their children to wash their faces with cold water starting from the summer, so that the skin is often stimulated by the weather, increasing local blood circulation to keep the nasal respiratory tract unobstructed; they can also guide their children to do nasal health exercises, which is: use the side edges of the thumbs to rub the skin on both sides of the nose alternately up and down, and rub until the local skin feels warm each time.
