Patient's question:
Childhood allergic rhinitis. In addition to the four typical symptoms, it is accompanied by adenoid hypertrophy and nasal turbinate hypertrophy. The symptoms worsen with lower temperatures, and recently breathing during sleep has become more difficult, often waking up gasping for air, causing great distress. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been used multiple times with little effect. Is there any effective TCM treatment that could help?Doctor's answer:
Patients with allergic rhinitis often experience symptoms such as continuous sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion, which severely affect their daily lives and work. Allergic rhinitis cannot heal on its own, and if left untreated, it will inevitably cause great harm to the body. Seasonal rhinitis has many treatment options, including avoiding exposure to allergens, medication, desensitization therapy, and surgical therapy, among others. With the continuous advancement and development of medical technology, minimally invasive surgery for seasonal rhinitis has also become an accepted treatment method by the public. The choice of treatment for seasonal rhinitis should also depend on the patient's specific condition.
