Patient's question:
My daughter is 12 years old and in good health. She has had a stuffy nose with a runny nose every night for a year. She also tends to sneeze in the morning sometimes, and her nose itches occasionally.Doctor's answer:
Rhinitis-induced symptoms can be relieved by performing nasal friction or acupressure on the nose daily: Use your thumb to rub the nasal wings up and down several times along the bridge of the nose. Use your index finger to rotate and massage the "Yingxiang" (Welcome Fragrance) acupoint several times to enhance blood circulation in the nasal area. Eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins A, B, C, and E, which can help in the recovery of the nasal mucosa. Nasal drops can be taken. In daily life, you can brew some honeysuckle tea to drink, which has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, heat-clearing, and detoxifying effects, effectively improving and preventing symptoms.
