Abstract:

Allergic rhinitis is a common nasal disease in children, characterized by sudden and recurrent episodes of nasal itching, sneezing, clear nasal discharge, nasal congestion, etc. It is often accompanied by allergic conjunctivitis, eczema, asthma, adenoid hypertrophy, sinusitis, epistaxis and sleep breathing disorders. The causes of this disease can be divided into internal and external factors. External factors include invasion of wind, cold, heat or foreign qi into the nasal cavity, while internal factors involve congenital insufficiency and deficiency of the lung, spleen and kidney. Professor Dong Youqi believes that this disease is the result of the interaction between internal and external factors, and the core pathogenesis is the dysfunction of the lung, spleen and kidney as the root and the invasion of external pathogenic factors as the superficial cause, leading to instability of the body's defense mechanism, retention of pathogenic factors in the nasal cavity, and disharmony of qi movement. As one of the eight types of traditional Chinese medicine preparations (pill, powder, ointment, pellet, wine, syrup, decoction, and pastille), ointment has the comprehensive effects of tonifying and nourishing as well as disease treatment and prevention. Children's ointments have the characteristics of individualized prescriptions, mild and harmonious ingredients, convenient administration, and good taste. This article takes the clinical experience of Professor Dong Youqi, a national master of traditional Chinese medicine, as the starting point, who uses winter ointments to treat children's allergic rhinitis, and summarizes and provides examples of the formula composition and dosage of children's ointments based on syndrome differentiation, emphasizing that ointments can improve the constitution of children by tonifying deficiencies and regulating the internal organs, thereby reducing the recurrence rate of the disease. It aims to provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of children's allergic rhinitis with traditional Chinese medicine and offer references for the clinical standardization and promotion of children's ointments.
