Causes and treatment of rhinitis during pregnancy

Pregnancy is something every woman will experience in her life, and expectant mothers will receive special care during pregnancy. Some pregnant women may have the problem of suffering from rhinitis during pregnancy. In daily life, rhinitis is a common disease and a chronic disease. It has a very negative impact on the physical health and daily life of pregnant women. Below we will give you some relevant introduction in this regard.

Causes:

It is caused by perennial allergens, often related to mites, fungi, etc., and is called perennial allergic rhinitis [1]. Human understanding of the pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis has gone through a long process.

treat:

1. Treatment of the cause

Identify systemic and local causes, and promptly treat systemic chronic diseases, sinusitis, adjacent infected lesions, and deviated nasal septum. Improve living and working environment, exercise, and enhance body resistance.

2. Local treatment

(1) Intranasal glucocorticoids are the first choice for chronic rhinitis. They have good anti-inflammatory effects and ultimately produce a decongestive effect. It can be used for a longer period of time as needed, with good efficacy and safety.

(2) Nasal cleaning: For those with more or thicker nasal secretions, the nasal cavity can be cleaned with normal saline to remove the nasal secretions and improve nasal ventilation.

(3) Oxymetazoline hydrochloride spray can be used as an intranasal decongestant, and continuous use should not exceed 7 days. If you need to continue using it, you need to stop for 3 to 5 days. Long-term use of 0.5% to 1% ephedrine nasal drops can damage the ciliary structure of the nasal mucosa and should be avoided as much as possible. If it is necessary to use it, use it in small amounts intermittently. Do not use nasal drops because they have been shown to cause drug-induced rhinitis.

(4) Other treatments include blockade therapy, acupuncture therapy, etc., which are rarely used.

Headache:

Headache is a common clinical symptom, which is usually limited to the upper part of the head, including the pain above the line connecting the brow arch, the upper edge of the helix and the external occipital protuberance. There are many causes of headaches, including neuralgia, intracranial infection, intracranial space-occupying lesions, cerebrovascular disease, extracranial head and facial diseases, and systemic diseases such as acute infection and poisoning. The age of onset is common in young, middle-aged and elderly people.

Drug treatment

Analgesics include: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics, centrally acting analgesics, and narcotic analgesics. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics have the advantages of definite efficacy and non-addictiveness. They are the most commonly used painkillers for headaches. This type of drug includes aspirin, ibuprofen, indomethacin, paracetamol, phenylbutazone, rofecoxib, celecoxib, etc. Centrally acting analgesics, represented by tramadol, are Class II psychotropic drugs and non-narcotic analgesics. Their analgesic effect is stronger than that of general antipyretic analgesics. They are mainly used for moderate to severe headaches and various postoperative and cancerous pain. Narcotic analgesics, represented by opioids such as morphine and pethidine, have the strongest analgesic effect, but long-term use can cause addiction. These drugs are only used in patients with advanced cancer. In addition, there are some Chinese herbal compound headache analgesics, which are helpful in relieving and preventing headaches.

Non-drug physical therapy.

I hope that pregnant women will pay more attention to their physical health and disease prevention in their daily lives. If you have the above diseases, please go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. Finally, I wish you all a healthy body and a happy life.
