What are the typical symptoms of allergic rhinitis

Science Fiction Network, January 10 (Xu Mingyang) The weather is getting colder, are you suffering from rhinitis? Doctors say that when the weather is cold, the nose is easily irritated by strong cold air and dust, which can cause congestion of the mucous membrane in the nasal cavity, leading to infection of the mucous membrane in the nasal cavity, and rhinitis may recur.

Rhinitis is an inflammation of the nasal mucosa caused by bacteria, viruses, allergens, etc. The symptoms of rhinitis are mainly nasal congestion, itchy nose, runny nose, sneezing, decreased sense of smell, headache, etc. Many patients say that rhinitis attacks are very uncomfortable.

According to the cause, rhinitis can be divided into non-allergic rhinitis and allergic rhinitis.

Non-allergic rhinitis includes atrophic rhinitis, drug-induced rhinitis, gustatory rhinitis, vasomotor rhinitis, etc., which are usually caused by bacteria, viruses, irritating odors, temperature changes, etc. Some types of rhinitis may be hereditary.

Allergic rhinitis is an allergic inflammation of the nasal mucosa caused by allergens such as pollen, dust mites, mold, and animal dander, and there is a certain genetic tendency. Pollen, fungi, etc. are allergens that cause seasonal allergic rhinitis, and the onset of this type of rhinitis is seasonal. Allergic principles such as dust mites and animal dander are the culprits of perennial allergic rhinitis. In addition to the above-mentioned rhinitis symptoms, allergic rhinitis may also cause red eyes, tears, and itching in multiple parts of the throat, ears, etc. In addition, allergic rhinitis may cause complications such as bronchial asthma and secretory otitis media.

Colds can easily cause rhinitis. Patients with rhinitis should keep warm in winter to avoid catching cold. Regularly washing the nose with light salt water to keep the nasal cavity moist can relieve the symptoms of rhinitis. Patients with allergic rhinitis can try to avoid contact with allergens in daily life. People who are allergic to pollen should take good protection when going out.
