Some patients may eventually require less medication, but treatment changes depend on symptoms and response to immunotherapy.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><b> Can allergic rhinitis be permanently cured?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no guaranteed permanent cure for everyone.

Persistent symptoms may require a broader treatment plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><b> Are antihistamines safe for children?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some antihistamines can be used in children, but the appropriate medicine and dose depend on the child&#8217;s age and other factors.
