Remedies for allergic rhinitis

Medications for allergic rhinitis should always be used under medical supervision. Check out what remedies can be used against allergic rhinitis.

Corticosteroids are anti-inflammatory injected into the nostrils once or twice a day, from one to two jets in each nostril. They are very effective in the treatment of rhinitis and do not bring many side effects. The most used in adults are:

• Mometasone
• Triamcinolone
• Budesonide
• Beclomethasone
• Fluticasone

For the treatment of rhinitis in adults, anticholinergics, which help decrease secretions, may also be used, with ipratropium bromide being a good option. In cases where the person does not respond satisfactorily to any of the referenced treatments, one may choose to use vaccines or surgery.

Remedies for Infantile Allergic Rhinitis

Medications for allergic rhinitis in children should be prescribed by the physician in order for the treatment to be appropriate to the age and severity of the symptoms. There are classic 1st generation antihistamines, which are absorbed quickly by the child's body when they are taken in syrups or tablets. They usually relieve symptoms in 30 minutes, but may cause drowsiness, making it difficult to concentrate and learn in school-age children. In some cases it is possible to observe agitation and insomnia. Are they:

• Diphenhydramine
• Dexchlorpheniramine

Non-classic 2nd generation antihistamines can only be purchased with a prescription and have the advantage of causing less sleepiness than classic antihistamines. Are they:

• Loratadina
• Cetirizine
• Desloratadine
• Fexofenadine
• Epinastine
• Azelastine

Also used are decongestants, indicated for the treatment of nasal obstruction, and nasal corticosteroids, which are anti-inflammatory indicated for children with severe and / or persistent symptoms of allergic rhinitis. Examples of nasal corticosteroids are:

• Mometasone
• Fluticasone
• Budesonide
• Triamcinolone
• Beclomethasone

In more severe cases of children with allergic rhinitis systemic corticosteroids are also used, when the nasal ones have not been successful. Doses and time of use should be limited by the risk of growth inhibition and behavioral changes. Using vaccines is a decision that is made after the failure of previous treatments. They, however, help to improve symptoms and prevent the progression of allergic rhinitis to asthma.
