Allergic rhinitis and asthma are relatively difficult to treat diseases, and they are more susceptible to infection during infancy and early childhood. If the treatment is not effective, it may follow the baby for life and affect their development. For allergic rhinitis and asthma, parents should encourage their babies to actively receive treatment and control the condition. Next, the editor will introduce whether children's allergies, rhinitis, and asthma can be cured?
Can allergic rhinitis and asthma in children be cured?
If allergic asthma occurs, do a blood routine and allergen test, and choose treatment based on the examination. Desensitization therapy can be used based on the allergen, avoiding contact with allergens, avoiding catching a cold, and paying attention to dietary nutrition. This disease cannot be cured, but asthma needs to be treated in a timely manner. If left untreated, it will last a lifetime.
Treatment methods for allergic rhinitis and asthma
1. Inhalation corticosteroid therapy:
The anti-inflammatory treatment for allergic rhinitis and asthma mainly relies on inhaled corticosteroids. In the past, anti-inflammatory treatment for the upper and lower respiratory tracts was usually administered through nasal and oral inhalation, respectively. However, currently, once a patient is diagnosed with allergic rhinitis asthma symptoms, they should use a special oral and nasal nebulizer (suction protection) to inhale glucocorticoids through the nose for combined anti-inflammatory treatment of the upper and lower respiratory tracts.
2. Allergen vaccine treatment:
Commonly known as desensitization therapy, it is one of the important treatment methods for allergic rhinitis asthma syndrome, and its efficacy has been confirmed in patients with rhinitis combined with asthma. In clinical practice, desensitization treatment is mainly carried out for dust mites and various pollen. Research has confirmed that this therapy can alter the natural progression of allergic rhinitis asthma symptoms and maintain efficacy for several years after discontinuation of treatment. In recent years, many scholars have advocated sublingual desensitization therapy, which is particularly suitable for children because it avoids the trouble and pain of repeated injections. But more research is needed to compare whether sublingual desensitization therapy has the same therapeutic effect as injection desensitization therapy.
3. Symptomatic treatment:
While jointly controlling upper and lower respiratory tract inflammation, it is also necessary to handle different symptoms of the upper and lower respiratory tract accordingly. The pharmacological effects of sympathomimetic drugs in controlling upper and lower respiratory symptoms are different. The nasal congestion caused by congestion of nasal mucosal blood vessels can be improved by vasoconstrictors - α - adrenergic receptor agonists, while the relief of bronchial smooth muscle spasm requires treatment with β - adrenergic receptor agonists. Antibiotic treatment for children with sinusitis can improve lower respiratory symptoms.
Although allergic rhinitis and asthma in children cannot be cured, it is more important to control the condition of allergic rhinitis and asthma in children. If the correct treatment methods are not applied during childhood, this disease may accompany the child for the rest of their life. Therefore, parents should guide their children to actively receive treatment when they suffer from allergic rhinitis and asthma.
