Pregnant women with allergic rhinitis can manage their condition through the following approaches: 1. If symptoms are mild, it is recommended—under a physician’s guidance—that pregnant women use normal saline nasal irrigation appropriately, which can help alleviate symptoms of allergic rhinitis. 2. Avoid known allergens in daily life; wear a mask when going outdoors, and avoid keeping flowering plants at home.
