Treatment of allergic rhinoconjuctivitis in children
We can distinguish symptomatic and causative pharmacologic treatment of allergic rhinitis. It is used topic (eye drops, nasal spray) and systemic (antihistamines and antileukotriene drugs) for a relief of the symptoms. High effective are local combination drugs. It is recommended to prefer nasal steroids alone or in combination with local antihistamines to systemic antihistamines. Allergen-specific immunotherapy represents the only causative treatment of allergic diseases which is able to decrease the incidence of asthma. An appropriate choice of dominant allergen is a possible way for polysensitized people.
