Q Will my child's allergic rhinitis get better as they grow up?
A Rhinitis that begins in childhood or adolescence sometimes improves naturally with age, but if left untreated it can progress to chronic rhinosinusitis.
Detailed Answer
About 30-50% of childhood allergic rhinitis cases improve as the child passes through adolescence, but without active treatment there is a risk of developing asthma or rhinosinusitis. Identifying allergens early and improving the living environment greatly improves the prognosis.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, we combine pediatric-specific prescriptions that reduce immune hypersensitivity with nasal irrigation education for growing children. Strengthening both Lung and Spleen function at the same time to balance immunity often produces effects that continue into adulthood.
