Pediatric Allergic Rhinitis

Pediatric allergic rhinitis is a common condition in children caused by the immune system reacting to allergens like pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and mold. Symptoms include sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, itchy eyes, and coughing. It can affect a child's sleep, concentration, and overall quality of life. Allergic rhinitis can be seasonal, occurring during specific times of the year, or perennial, lasting year-round. Treatment options include avoiding triggers, using antihistamines, nasal sprays, or allergy shots, depending on severity. Consulting a healthcare provider can help in managing symptoms effectively.
