　　The child is always blocked and runny nose, so parents need to be vigilant, the child is likely to suffer from rhinitis.

According to statistics, in my country, the prevalence of allergic rhinitis in children is 10%-25%.

Experts said that allergic rhinitis is a chronic disease that recurs, and it is recommended to adhere to long-term, active and standardized treatment and nursing.

　　1-3 of 10 children have allergic rhinitis

　　Allergic rhinitis is not a disease that only adults have.

Song Shuxia, deputy director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Guangdong Maternal and Child Health Hospital, introduced that in my country, the prevalence of allergic rhinitis in children is 10%-25%, and it has become one of the main respiratory diseases in children. It is mainly divided into seasonal and perennial. .

The former often begins to appear in the pollen dispersing season, and the disease season is basically the same every year; the latter often occurs throughout the year.

　　Song Shuxia pointed out that allergic rhinitis is an allergic disease of the nasal mucosa.

After the sensory nerve endings of the nasal mucosa are stimulated, paroxysmal sneezing may occur, a large amount of water-like nasal discharge, varying degrees of nasal congestion, hyposmia and other symptoms may occur.

　　How to distinguish allergic rhinitis from a cold?

　　Now is the turn of spring and summer, the weather changes greatly, children are most prone to colds, and the symptoms of colds are very similar to allergic rhinitis. Many parents often do not know whether their children have a cold or rhinitis.

Song Shuxia here will teach you a simple way to judge: the common cold is usually accompanied by sore throat, fever, headache and other discomfort in addition to a runny nose, but it usually heals on its own in 5-7 days.

If your child has only a stuffy nose, a runny nose, an itchy nose, and sudden and frequent sneezing, accompanied by itchy eyes, ears, or throat, dark circles around the eyes, horizontal wrinkles on the skin of the nose, and frequent throat clearing, If there is short-term choking and other symptoms when lying down, you need to be alert to allergic rhinitis, and parents should take their children to see a doctor in time.

　　Adhere to standardized treatment, staged TCM conditioning

　　Allergic rhinitis, which Chinese medicine calls "Biqi", its occurrence is related to the dysfunction of the internal organs, and externally due to the feeling of wind and cold and the invasion of the nose orifice by external pathogens.

Chinese medicine believes that when the lung qi is weak, the spleen qi is weak, and the kidney qi is deficient, it can all lead to the occurrence of rhizoma.

　　Song Shuxia said that traditional Chinese medicine believes that allergic reactions are actually the body's attempt to expel exogenous pathogens, and the pathogenic sites are fighting against each other. If the righteousness is not enough to expel the evils, symptoms will appear frequently.

Therefore, for children in the acute attack stage of allergic rhinitis, the methods of relieving the surface and dispelling cold and dispelling wind-induced pathogens are generally used, combined with nasal stickers to open the nose orifices, and laser treatment to improve the nose. Generally, children are treated for 3-7 days. The symptoms can disappear after a few days, and then enter the second stage of nursing care.

　　The second stage is the remission period. The remission period is mainly to adjust the child's physique based on syndrome differentiation. By strengthening the spleen and removing dampness, invigorating the kidney and regulating the lungs, the child's immunity can be improved, thereby reducing the occurrence of allergies.

At this stage, it is generally necessary to adhere to TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment for 2-3 consecutive months in order to comprehensively improve the constitution.

Of course, physical fitness is all about conditioning, and it’s not a one-time thing.

After children's physical conditioning, not only can reduce the onset of allergic rhinitis, but also the accompanying problems caused by allergic rhinitis, such as repeated cough, allergic eczema, growth retardation, constipation, anorexia, disturbed sleep, bad breath, teeth grinding, etc. All can be solved.

Some parents even find that their children's temper has become better than before, and their studies are more serious than before.

　　In addition, experts also reminded that in daily maintenance, we should try to avoid staying in air-conditioned rooms for a long time, as long-term exposure to low temperature rooms will easily damage the yang.

In addition, from the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, cold foods will lose the yang qi of the child’s spleen and stomach, resulting in a lack of spleen movement and transformation, and at the same time laying hidden dangers for allergies. Therefore, ice cream, popsicles, cold drinks, watermelon, etc. should be minimized in daily life. Intake of cold foods.

　　In a word, allergic rhinitis is a chronic disease with repeated attacks. If you ignore it after the symptoms are relieved in the acute phase, it is likely to recur or even worsen. Therefore, patients with allergic rhinitis must adhere to standardized treatment and long-term treatment. nursing.
