Patient's question:
The child is 9 years old and suffers from allergic rhinitis, which is seasonal. It manifests with sneezing during each seasonal change, and is also accompanied by right asthma.Doctor's answer:
When pediatric allergic rhinitis persists, what foods (medicinal diets) can help improve the child's constitution? Here are a few commonly used and effective medicinal diets for your reference:(1) For children with weak stomach and intestines, who are prone to diarrhea, bloating, and poor appetite, you can use one quail. After cleaning it, place it in a steaming pot. Mix the prepared Chinese medicine (20g of Codonopsis, 20g of Poria, 10 dehydrated red dates (pitted), 5g of Aconite, etc., all ground into powder) into its abdominal cavity. After the water boils, simmer for another 4 hours on low heat. Eat once every two days.
(2) For children who often catch colds, you can use 50g of Astragalus, 20g of Atractylodes macrocephala, 20g of Saposhnikoviae, and 50g of lotus seeds, along with one pig lung. Boil them together and drink the broth. Eat once every two days.
(3) For children with poor memory and fatigue, you can use one sheep kidney, 30g of wolfberry, 30g of lamb, and 30g of American ginseng. Boil them together and drink the broth while eating the meat. Eat once every two days.
Although allergic rhinitis is a modern disease, it is not incurable. The goal of treatment is not only to eliminate the condition but also to prevent its complications, such as otitis media, insomnia, poor school performance, memory loss, recurrent sore throat, headaches, coughs, fatigue, and sinusitis.
