Objectives: To compare effectiveness of montelukast versus cetirizine in AR and its effect on the quality of life (QoL) among children aged 6-12 years, attending Asthma Clinic, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ruhuna, Sri Lanka. Method: This was a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group trial; 'Group A' was given montelukast with a cetirizine dummy; 'Group B' was given cetirizine with a montelukast dummy. Primary endpoint was to compare improvement of nasal, eye and night symptom scores. Secondary endpoint was to compare the QoL between the groups. Total symptoms were assessed at baseline, one month, two months and three months. Results: There were 176 children (62.5% boys) with a mean age of 8.82 ± 1.79 years. Fifteen children were lost to follow-up, 7 from the montelukast and 8 from the cetirizine group. There was a significant reduction in all symptoms (p<0.05) every month in both treatment groups. Whilst montelukast group had more improved day and night symptom scores than cetirizine group, statistically significant improvement was seen only in the 3rd month (t-4.10 p <0.001). Mean QoL score showed no significant difference between the two groups at onset (montelukast 9.01±9.4 and cetirizine 15.9 ± 10.4; t-0.369; p=0.712). Both groups showed a statistically significant improvement in all domains of QoL by completion of treatment (p<0.05). Upon completion, the montelukast group showed a significantly better QoL than the cetirizine group. Conclusions: Both cetirizine and montelukast showed remarkable improvement in the symptoms and better QoL in children. Study outcomes in all clinical domains and QoL were more significantly improved in montelukast group than in cetirizine group when treatment was continued for 3 months.","PeriodicalId":38870,"journal":{"name":"Sri Lanka Journal of Child Health","volume":"74 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141382826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Toys are the primary medium of engagement of caregivers with their children. Traditionally, physical toys were provided to the children.

With digital toys, 61% parents owned 1-3 digital devices, 23.1% 4-6 devices and 15% >6 devices. Almost 92% of children were exposed to mobile screen, 47% to television screen and 42% to tablet. In 77% cases, parents were the principal interactor with child and 15% were solitary play oriented.Conclusions: Almost 50% of traditional toys were not age appropriate.

Psychologists have used ‘play therapy’ to modify child behaviour to alleviate pain and anxiety during elective surgery in children. The pinwheel and bubble blower have been used in play therapy for children to bring about deep breathing which in turn brings about relaxation and anxiety reduction. Objectives: To evaluate and compare the use of two relaxation breathing exercises for anxiety reduction before and after administration of local anaesthesia for 6–12-year-old children undergoing dental treatment. Method: Forty-five children were divided into 3 groups as control, pinwheel breathing exercise and bubble blowing breathing exercise. The children were given a demonstration of the breathing exercise before local anaesthesia administration and asked to perform the exercise for 3 to 5 minutes. Anxiety was measured before and after administration of local anaesthesia with pulse rate and Venham’s picture scale score. Results: Post-operative rise in pulse rate was seen in all groups but was statistically significant in the control group and the bubble blowing breathing exercise group (p<0.05). The least rise was seen in the pinwheel breathing exercise group. The post-injection Venham’s picture test score was the same as the pre-injection score in the pinwheel exercise group but had increased for the other two groups which was statistically not significant. Conclusions: The play therapy relaxation breathing exercises can be successfully used for anxiety reduction in children receiving local anaesthesia.","PeriodicalId":38870,"journal":{"name":"Sri Lanka Journal of Child Health","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141385634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
