Principles of treatment of respiratory allergies in children

The problem of treating allergic diseases of the respiratory organs (respiratory allergosis - RA) remains difficult and far from being solved, as evidenced by their "rejuvenation": the onset of the disease at an early age, an increase in the prevalence and severity of the course, the frequent formation of forms resistant to basic therapy and frequent "fouling » complications in the form of side effects of sympathomimetics, corticosteroid hormones, drug allergies, which makes the treatment of children even more difficult. The change in the clinical course of RA is due to many reasons. These are general social factors (environmental imbalance, an increase in the range of allergens that affect, poor nutrition, etc.), and not always adequate therapy for patients. Patients, as a rule, are limited to symptomatic treatment aimed at stopping acute allergic symptoms, which gives a short-term effect and does not prevent their relapse; very rarely, specific therapy with etiologically significant allergens is used. At the same time, respiratory allergies, which in most cases occur in a chronic form, require the use of systematic complex and staged therapy, which ensures a long-term stable remission of the disease.
