Dr. Ding Hongfang
Children with allergic rhinitis may experience paroxysmal sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, and nasal pruritus. Severe nasal congestion may lead to mouth breathing or wheezing. During allergic rhinitis episodes, children may also develop ocular allergic symptoms, such as conjunctival hyperemia, itchy eyes, and lacrimation. Allergic rhinitis can be treated with antihistamines or medications that protect the nasal mucosa.
