In modern times when the incidence of allergic rhinitis is increasing, parents are especially torn when it comes to the use of nasal corticosteroids. The following is a brief description of the characteristics of the use of drugs for allergic rhinitis in children, which I hope will be of benefit to parents. In terms of allergic rhinitis medications, nasal corticosteroids and antihistamines occupy a central position in the drug treatment system. Antihistamines are characterized by their ability to relieve acute allergic symptoms such as nasal itching, runny nose and continuous sneezing, but they are less effective against nasal congestion and can be used as first-line medication for patients with mild allergic rhinitis. The first generation antihistamines are now less used because of their significant central sedative and drowsy effects; representative drug: paracetamol; modern clinical use of second-generation antihistamines, commonly used drugs: loratadine, cetirizine, etc. Currently, second-generation antihistamines are considered important therapeutic agents for all patients and are recommended for the treatment of allergic rhinitis in adults and children. Perennial oral antihistamines are safe and have been proven in younger children. Nasal corticosteroids: Glucocorticoids produce strong anti-inflammatory effects by reducing the release of cytokines and chemokines, and inhibit several parts of the inflammatory process. It is the most effective drug for the treatment of allergic rhinitis. Most studies have concluded that they are superior to antihistamines in relieving nasal congestion, runny nose and nasal itch compared to oral antihistamines. Adverse reactions to nasal glucocorticosteroids are mild and mostly transient. In children, the suppression of pituitary-adrenal axis function and the effects on growth with long-term use of nasal glucocorticosteroids are still a concern. The following points should be noted in the use of nasal glucocorticosteroids in children: 1) the dose and method of use of the drug, 2) the strict implementation of the recommended dose, 3) the best use every morning, and 4) the adjustment of the dose of nasal glucocorticosteroids in combination with asthma drugs (inhaled glucocorticosteroids) as appropriate. In the process of treating allergic rhinitis, many parents are unable to carry out the medical prescriptions well or use the medication for an insufficient period of time, so the control of symptoms is not ideal, especially in children with moderate to severe allergic rhinitis, because they hear that it is a hormone, so the compliance is very poor. Finally, it is recommended that patients with all types of rhinitis may pay attention to the role of nasal rinses in their treatment, which are now increasingly becoming an important part of the treatment of nasal and sinus disorders.
