Qingbitang: Autumn care for rhinitis patients, how to prevent and control the worsening of the disease

The weather is getting colder, the temperature is dropping, and my allergic rhinitis is recurring. I keep blowing my nose during the day, and I have trouble breathing at night. I can no longer maintain my good image...

Faced with this situation, how should friends with rhinitis take care of themselves to stay away from the invasion of rhinitis!

Qingbitang: How should patients with rhinitis take care of their nasal cavity?

●Stay away from allergens: The principle of allergic rhinitis prevention and control is to avoid allergens as much as possible, such as staying away from pollen, wearing glasses, etc.; patients who are allergic to dust mites should keep the indoor environment clean and dry, wash bedding and curtains frequently, etc., to reduce dust mites; to a certain extent, avoid allergic rhinitis attacks. If you have carpets at home, you should clean the carpets frequently. If you are allergic to pet dander, you must reluctantly give up and don't keep small animals!

● Eat a light diet and try to avoid spicy, irritating foods and seafood products. Eat more vegetables and fruits, which can not only supplement vitamins but also moisten the lungs and produce saliva.

●Maintain regular living habits, go to bed early and get up early, avoid excessive fatigue, especially avoid staying up late. If you often stay up late, your body's resistance will decrease, and it will easily lead to allergens invading the human body.

● Avoid excessive use of vasoconstrictive nasal drops.

●Avoid dust, harmful chemical gases or special smells. Too much adverse stimulation will affect the function of the nasal mucosa and cause olfactory impairment. The temperature of the nasal cavity is generally around 32°C. Too hot or too cold temperatures will have adverse effects on the function of the nasal mucosa.

●Don't always pick your nose with your fingers. It is not only unsightly, but also a bad hygiene habit. It can cause nose hair to fall off, damage the mucous membrane, and rupture blood vessels, causing bleeding. Picking your nose can also cause nasal infection, and in severe cases it can even harm brain health.

Qingbitang: What are the dangers of long-term uncured rhinitis?

1. Rhinitis patients have difficulty breathing due to long-term nasal congestion and breathe through their mouths during sleep. The release of inflammatory mediators and the activity of inflammatory cells lead to congestion of nasal and throat tissues, airway obstruction, and snoring.

2. Most people with rhinitis also have pharyngitis. The throat is the only way for the nasal cavity to detoxify and also the only way for the mucus to pass through. Long-term contact with nasal pathogenic bacteria and viruses will naturally cause inflammation and form pharyngitis.

3. Most patients with pollen allergic rhinitis and some patients with perennial allergic rhinitis will develop bronchial asthma, which is caused by allergic bronchial lesions, and the allergens are consistent with those of allergic rhinitis.

In short, no matter what season it is, it is recommended to wash your face with cold water and massage your nose properly while washing to improve blood circulation in the nose, increase your ability to resist cold, and reduce the chance of catching a cold. In addition, proper exercise to strengthen your physical fitness is also conducive to the early recovery of rhinitis and sinusitis;
