Clinical Efficacy and Safety Study of Loratadine Combined with Glucocorticoid Nasal Spray in the Treatment of Pediatric Bronchial Asthma with Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis

Abstract

To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of Loratadine combined with Glucocorticoid nasal spray in the treatment of pediatric bronchial asthma with seasonal allergic rhinitis. A total of 100 pediatric patients with moderate to severe bronchial asthma and seasonal allergic rhinitis admitted to our hospital between January 2020 and January 2023 were included in this study. All patients met the complete inclusion and exclusion criteria. Based on different treatment interventions, they were divided into the control group (n = 50) and the observation group (n = 50). Patients in the control group received treatment with glucocorticoid nasal spray, while patients in the observation group received combined intervention with Loratadine in addition to the treatment received by the control group. The clinical treatment outcomes, incidence of adverse reactions, as well as the scores of nasal symptoms, asthma control, and peak expiratory flow rates at different treatment time points (baseline, T1: 30 days after treatment, T2: 60 days after treatment, T3: 90 days after treatment) were compared between the two groups.The combined treatment of Loratadine with Glucocorticoid nasal spray demonstrates significant clinical efficacy in the treatment of pediatric bronchial asthma with seasonal allergic rhinitis. It further promotes the recovery of peak expiratory flow rates, improves symptoms of rhinitis and asthma in pediatric patients. Importantly, the application of this combined treatment does not increase the risk of adverse reactions in pediatric patients, indicating its high safety profile. This treatment approach is worthy of clinical application and further promotion.
