Patient's question:
Hello, doctor, I am currently planning to treat pediatric allergic rhinitis in Wuhan. Could you please advise what I should do if my child suffers from pediatric allergic rhinitis? Thank you! What kind of treatment should pediatric allergic rhinitis receive? How can it be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
Early-stage allergic rhinitis in children can be treated with anti-allergic medications. However, given the current condition of the child, the inflammation has already spread to the middle ear and throat. Clearly, conservative medication treatment will not be effective at this point. In such cases, it may be considered to perform a pre-sphenopalatine nerve block surgery for the child. This surgery is minimally invasive and painless. It works by blocking the pre-sphenopalatine nerve, the vidian nerve, and the inferior turbinate nerve, ultimately reducing the excitability of the nasal parasympathetic nerves to improve nasal breathing and suppress allergies.
