Marc: Allergic nasal congestion

Ten-year old March has missed numerous days at school because of severe rhinitis and acute inflammations of the ear. In spring, in particular, he suffered repeatedly with a badly runny nose and stinging eyes. Because he could not breathe through his nose sufficiently, his mouth was frequently open. Marc also reported suffering from a severe cough. In recent weeks, Marc had also complained about a restricted feeling when breathing, particularly during sports.

An examination of his nose revealed a distinctive swelling of the nasal mucous membranes and plenty of watery secretion in the nose. The allergy test showed a strong reaction to birch pollen and dust mites.

The regular application of anti-inflammatory nasal sprays and taking anti-allergic tablets resulted in a clear improvement in Marc's nasal breathing within 6 weeks. The feeling of constricted breathing has almost completely stopped.
