Patient's question:
My youngest child just turned 4 years old, with a history of allergic asthma for 3 years. He has been using Flovent for maintenance treatment since May 2007. In June 2008, the medication was discontinued. About half a month ago, he had a Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection and an asthma attack. After recovery, he developed a runny nose, sometimes with yellow discharge and sometimes clear mucus, without any other symptoms. The doctor said it was allergic rhinitis. I am wondering whether medication is needed for this condition, what kind of medication would be suitable, and where it can be purchased. Additionally, how can allergic rhinitis and asthma be prevented and treated during autumn?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended to take Cetirizine and Biyankang tablets along with Cefixime for treatment. These can usually be found at general pharmacies. In addition to timely treatment for pediatric allergic rhinitis, patients need to consult experts for advice and maintain communication with their doctors. Patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as eating a light and balanced diet and engaging in more outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should choose a top-tier hospital for diagnosis and treatment to achieve better therapeutic effects.
