Patient's question:
My son is only seven years old this year, and he is already in the first grade. However, his nose has always been particularly sensitive. After checking him at the hospital, it was found to be pediatric allergic rhinitis. But I can't give him too many medications either. How is pediatric allergic rhinitis treated?Doctor's answer:
Choose an antihistamine medication; generally, it is not necessary to use two or three at the same time (if two or three are needed, it is usually because both allergic rhinitis and asthma are present). Follow your doctor's advice. Cetrizine syrup or Caramol syrup is commonly used, and oral tablets can also be added. Antihistamines are generally taken for no more than 2 weeks in a row; do not exceed 2 weeks, and the medication can be stopped once symptoms are controlled.
