The treatment of rhinitis in children varies according to its clinical classification, generally including acute rhinitis and allergic rhinitis, etc., which can be treated with medication, but the specific efficacy varies from person to person, and it is impossible to say which method is the most effective.
1. Acute rhinitis: mostly caused by upper respiratory tract viral infection, often self-limiting, treatment mainly includes general and drug treatment.
(1) General treatment: drink more water, pay attention to rest, light diet.
(2) drug therapy: commonly used ① antipyretic and analgesic drugs: such as aspirin, can reduce fever, headache and other symptoms; ② local drugs: such as hydroxymetazoline and other vasoconstrictors, budesonide and other glucocorticoids, can improve nasal ventilation.
2. Allergic rhinitis: belongs to one of the types of chronic rhinitis, the treatment includes general, drug, immune and surgical treatment.
(1) General treatment: mainly for avoiding contact with allergens, which is the most effective way to reduce attacks.
(2) Drug treatment: commonly used ① antihistamine: such as cetirizine, can relieve itching, sneezing and other symptoms; ② anti-IgE antibody: such as omalizumab, mostly used in other drug treatment is ineffective.
(3) Immunotherapy: mainly desensitization therapy, commonly used sublingual or subcutaneous injection of allergen extracts.
(4) Surgical treatment: pterygotomy and other surgical procedures can be taken, which is only used for some of the people who are not effective in conservative treatment.
However, it should be noted that the efficacy of each of the above methods may vary individually, and there is no so-called “most effective” method that can be applied to all patients. Therefore, children diagnosed with rhinitis must undergo individualized treatment under strict medical supervision.
