[미디어파인 전문칼럼] Children with weak immune systems are prone to allergic rhinitis. Problems with the structure of the respiratory system can be said to be a major factor; the nasal passages and paranasal sinuses of immature infants are different in size and location from those of adults.
If left untreated, it can become chronic and cause various inconveniences in daily life, such as sleep, growth, and academic difficulties.
The main symptoms of allergic rhinitis include nasal congestion, clear runny nose, and sneezing, which are similar to cold symptoms.
Just as important as treatment in the early stage of occurrence is preventing rhinitis, which can threaten children’s health, through consistent immune management before allergy symptoms appear.
Oriental medicine treatment for allergic rhinitis aims to relieve symptoms, and treatment focuses on relieving nasal symptoms first. When symptoms weaken, strengthen the respiratory system and increase the child’s immunity.
In Oriental medicine, lung energy controls the respiratory tract and nose, so strengthening the lungs can help develop resistance to cold, dry, and polluted air.
To restore lung energy, Oriental medicine also uses treatments such as decoction, acupuncture, cupping, and aroma.
A stuffy nose in a child who has a lot of fever and the heat is concentrated in the upper part of the body requires a different approach and treatment than a stuffy nose in a child who has a cold body and is sensitive to cold. The treatment is different for a person who is prone to a sticky nose and a child with a runny nose.
Among the various herbal medicines and prescriptions that help with nasal ventilation, relieve mucous membrane swelling, and have anti-allergic effects, the treatment is conducted by finding the prescription that best suits the individual’s constitution and symptoms, which has the advantage of improving overall condition as well.
