CHILDREN AND NASAL ALLERGIES
Nasal allergies can also affect children. If going outside or playing with pets
has ever made your child’s nose runny, stuffy, itchy, and/or they may have nasal
allergies.
Nasal allergies are the body’s reaction to something it sees as a problem. It may
think that grass is bad, or even the family pet. When the body thinks it’s under
attack, it will try to defend itself. It defends itself by releasing a chemical
called histamine that triggers nasal allergy symptoms.
When that happens, they may need medicine to make their symptoms go away.
It is important to talk to your Health care professional about your treatment options.
