Abstract

Objective: To describe the clinical characteristics of allergic rhinitis in children aged 6 to 14 years at Hai Phong Children's Hospital in 2024. Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 136 children aged 6 to 14 years diagnosed with allergic rhinitis at Hai Phong Children's Hospital from December 2023 to June 2024. Data were cleaned and entered into Epidata 3.1 software and analyzed using SPSS 20.0 software. Results: The average age of the children was 11.0 ± 2.3 years, with the majority of children over 10 years old (61%) and males predominating (62.5%). The average degree of nasal itching (63.2%), sneezing (55.9%), runny nose (60.3%), and nasal congestion (58.1%) were observed. Extra-nasal symptoms: headache (30.5%), cough (24.3%), decreased sense of smell (23.4%), and sore throat (19.7%) were common symptoms. The condition of the nasal mucosa and inferior turbinate at the moderate level accounted for a high percentage. Conclusions: The typical nasal symptoms in children with allergic rhinitis are nasal itching, sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen health education, screening, and early diagnosis, as well as effective management and treatment to improve the quality of life for children with allergic rhinitis.
