In recent years, particularly in China, many Chinese medicines and prescriptions for treating allergic rhinitis have been evaluated for their clinical relevance. Studies have found that numerous herbs and their constituent compounds can significantly alleviate allergic symptoms and are effective treatments for allergic rhinitis. The purpose of this study was to examine the modulatory effect of Tong Qiao nose drops on allergy symptoms and the expression of cytokines in the nasal mucosa of rats with ovalbumin-induced allergic rhinitis.
