First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding a decongestant nasal spray for the first 5 days to standard steroid spray treatment helps children with persistent allergic rhinitis feel better faster. 76 children aged 4-18 were randomly assigned to receive either steroid spray alone for 4 weeks or steroid spray plus the decongestant for the first 5 days. The researchers measured changes in nasal symptoms, airflow, and quality of life.
