"How many boxes of nasal allergy medication constitute a treatment course?"

Rhinitis medications are typically taken in 1-3 boxes, with each box containing 1 bottle, making it 3 bottles for 3 boxes. Due to variations in medication forms and specifications, there may be differences in specific dosage. It is recommended to take medications under the guidance of a doctor to avoid blindly increasing or decreasing the dosage.

Medication Types and Dosages:

1. Mast Cell Stabilizers: For example, tranilast capsules. Typically, adults take 1-2 capsules at a time, while children take 0.5-1 capsule. For chronic rhinitis, a dosage of 2.5mg is generally suitable, taken 2-3 times a day.

2. Antihistamines: Such as cetirizine hydrochloride tablets and loratadine tablets. Both adults and children can take these, but children's dosage is relatively higher. Adults usually take 0.5mg each time, twice a day. In case of acute onset of chronic rhinitis, 1-2 tablets can be taken. If itching symptoms are severe, the dosage can be appropriately increased to 0.5mg twice a day under a doctor's guidance.

3. Leukotriene Receptor Antagonists: Like montelukast sodium tablets. Generally, adults can take 2-3 tablets, and children can also take 2-3 tablets. For allergic rhinitis, 3-5 tablets may be taken. When combined with nasal irrigation, nasal symptoms can be significantly improved.

4. Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCMs): For treating sinusitis, rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, and related conditions, the dosage of TCMs is relatively high. Children can take 1-3 pills, three times a day. During the medication period, it is recommended to select the appropriate dosage according to the doctor's guidance and observe the medication's efficacy.

If mild symptoms like dizziness or drowsiness occur after taking the medication, it is generally normal and does not require special treatment. However, if severe drowsiness, gastrointestinal reactions, liver or kidney function impairment occur, the medication should be discontinued immediately.
