Do you have a stuffy nose and runny nose even though you don’t have a history of rhinitis? Don’t violate the “three no’s” principle of nose protection!

Qingbitang: Why is rhinitis always more common in winter?

Rhinitis is easily affected by many factors such as environment, climate, physical fitness, etc. Once one of the factors is out of balance, rhinitis will worsen! Winter is cold, the body's immunity is reduced, and the nasal cavity is very susceptible to cold air, bacteria and viruses, resulting in colds or rhinitis. When they are not healed for a long time, the inflammation on the nasal mucosa spreads to the surrounding sinus cavity, which can also induce sinusitis.

Children in particular have larger sinus openings and poor disease resistance, making them more susceptible to illness. They may even experience symptoms such as snoring while sleeping and enlarged adenoids, which affect their growth and development!

Qingbi Hall: Keep this guide to nose care in winter!

Eat a light diet

Patients with rhinitis should avoid spicy, cold, allergic and other irritating foods. It is recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, and consume more meat, eggs and milk to enhance the body's resistance to disease.

Dress warmly

In winter, you should pay attention to keeping warm and add clothes in time to avoid catching a cold. When the air conditioner or heater is often turned on at home, you should use a humidifier appropriately, drink more water, and keep your nasal cavity moist!

Ventilate the room frequently

Although it is cold in winter, you should open windows to ventilate the room to ensure air circulation and prevent the growth of indoor bacteria. Bed sheets, quilt covers, carpets and plush toys must be washed frequently to avoid the breeding of mites and induce rhinitis and sinusitis!

Wear a mask when traveling

When traveling, be careful to avoid smog weather. Wear a mask when going out to isolate yourself from cold air and a large number of allergens, bacteria and microorganisms. After returning home, wash your nose with salt water to clean your nasal cavity and disinfect it.

The “three no” habits must be corrected!

Don't pick your nose casually, as this may damage the nasal mucosa and cause infection or inflammation.

Do not squeeze nasal boils or pull out nose hairs, which can damage the nasal mucosa and induce nosebleeds.

Do not use nasal drops casually. Many nasal drops are vasoconstrictors and long-term use can induce drug-induced rhinitis.

Qingbi Hall kindly reminds everyone: Take good care of your nose and check it out in time if you feel any discomfort. When the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, people with allergic rhinitis and other problems should take protective measures in time!
