What treatment is used for a hild who has asthma and a running nose possibly Rinitis?

Question

My child takes inhaler Pulmicort daily but she has a running nose, looks like water, it is more accentuated in the morning then during the day it calms down, she sleeps in a fresh airy and clean room may this be house dust mite or Rinitis? is anyone having treatment for both asthma and rinits and which one? my GP gave me a steroid spray but it does not work.

Answer 1

Any asthmatic sprays used by a child by there mouth you should always get the child to rinse there mouth out thoroughly after use to clear the throat getting irritated by the sprays.
Runny nose in the morning could mean your child is suffering from an allergies or change in room temperature through out the early mornings.
Stop the steroid spray as this could cause long term effects on your child.
Steroid sprays can harm the lining of the nasal passage and irritate the lining.

Home Treatments you might like to try:

Try Vick's on the child's nostrils just abit an put camphor block in her/his pillow.
Eucalyptus oil a few drops around the pillow and on there throat can assist with breathing.
Get the carpets professional cleaned for dust mights and put a moisturiser bucket in the room to collect dampness these can be brought at supermarkets in the laundry isle."NOT SURE ON THE PROPER NAME,sorry"

Go to your herbalist shop/health food store and ask them if there is anything you can try to replace the steroid spray?

Wash your child's lining in Soap Flakes and dust mite solution for prevention like once a week.
Wont hurt your child in any way.

best of luck.

Would help if we new the age of the child?
