Patient's question:
The child has just started kindergarten this year, but they keep hiccuping. After going to the hospital for a check-up, it was discovered that they have allergic rhinitis. They have taken some medication, but it hasn't gone away yet. It is said that rhinitis can be a bit difficult to treat, but I still want to ask how to treat allergic rhinitis in a 5-year-old child?Doctor's answer:
Allergic rhinitis requires the use of anti-allergic drugs during acute recurrence. You can go to the hospital for an allergen test to identify the allergen and undergo desensitization treatment. If it recurs frequently or the medication is not effective, surgical treatment can be considered. Avoid contact with allergens as much as possible in daily life, pay attention to weather changes, change clothes appropriately, engage in appropriate sports to enhance physical fitness, and increase immunity against colds.
