Patient's question:
Hello, what are some home remedies for pediatric allergic rhinitis? My child is only 17 months old and already has rhinitis. It's so heart-wrenching to see a child so young with allergic rhinitis. Doctors don't recommend surgery for such a young child, so I'm wondering if there are any good home remedies for pediatric allergic rhinitis?Doctor's answer:
Allergic rhinitis is caused by the baby's low immunity and weak constitution, making them prone to illnesses, leading to allergic reactions to certain substances, usually triggered by colds.Advice: Based on the baby's condition, it is recommended to take antiallergic medication while also considering the use of traditional Chinese medicine for syndrome differentiation. Additionally, an allergen test may be necessary if needed, to avoid allergens as much as possible. Pay attention to a light and easily digestible diet to ensure smooth bowel movements. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as puffed snacks.
