Patient's question:
The child always sniffs, and sometimes if they sniff improperly, they get choked. She has allergic rhinitis and has been in poor health. Currently, she is taking Transfer Factor for a month. Can she also take probiotics to treat rhinitis? Also, what kind of probiotics can treat allergic rhinitis? Suggest help.Doctor's answer:
If it is confirmed to be allergic rhinitis, treatment mainly consists of two types: non-specific and specific treatment. Non-specific treatment is based on anti-allergic suppression of symptoms, and nasal sprays such as budesonide and levocetirizine can be used. If necessary, anti-allergic drugs like loratadine can be taken orally. Specific treatment, also known as desensitization therapy, involves identifying allergens and providing additional desensitization treatment for some of them. Bifidobacteria and lactobacilli are the most commonly used. The above is advice on this issue, and it is hoped it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
