How to treat allergic conjunctivitis in children

Allergic conjunctivitis is a common eye disease in children. Many parents of patients will find that their children always cry out for itchy eyes and rub their eyes very badly. This situation may be a manifestation of allergic conjunctivitis. For the treatment of this disease, it is recommended to give local cold compress in the early stage. Use cold water towel on the surface of the eyes twice a day for about 10 minutes each time, which can effectively relieve the symptoms of itchy eyes. Topical antihistamines, such as azelastine hydrochloride eye drops and olopatadine eye drops, which are commonly used in children, can also be used. These drugs can effectively relieve allergic symptoms and reduce itching, congestion or increased secretions in the eyes. If the symptoms are particularly severe, a low concentration of glucocorticoid eye drops, such as compound neomycin sulfate, can be used for a short period of time. The symptoms should be relieved after 3-4 times a day for about 2 weeks.
