Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 2 years old, pediatric rhinitisDoctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) holds that rhinitis is not an issue with the nose itself but rather reflects dysfunction in the internal organs. Allergic rhinitis is caused by the deficiency of lung qi being exposed to wind-cold, wind-heat, damp-heat, etc., leading to impaired lung qi circulation and blocked lung orifices. Through long-term clinical research, they have developed a set of massage techniques specifically designed to treat pediatric allergic rhinitis, eliminating the need for children to take medication or receive injections. Additionally, if parents implement appropriate lifestyle adjustments for their children, such as identifying and avoiding allergens like dust, hair, pollen, and cold, the child's sensitivity to these allergens may decrease or disappear over time. Improving the surrounding living environment, maintaining regular physical exercise to enhance immunity, and preventing colds are also beneficial. A light diet, avoiding foods such as fish, shrimp, seafood, milk, and eggs, can further aid in the early recovery of pediatric allergic rhinitis.
