Qingbi Tang: When treating chronic rhinitis, you need to be aware of these dangers!

In recent years, the number of people suffering from chronic rhinitis in my country has continued to increase, with 1-3 out of every 10 people being affected. It has become one of the major chronic inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract.

Many people think that chronic rhinitis is difficult to treat, but in fact they have not found the right method. Do you understand the dangers of chronic rhinitis?

Qingbitang: What are the dangers of chronic rhinitis?

Snoring

Long-term nasal congestion will make us habitually raise our heads and breathe through our mouths when we sleep, and the root of the tongue will fall back, which can easily lead to sleep apnea syndrome. For people with high blood pressure, heart disease, etc., it is easy to induce sudden death at night. But for children, it may also change their appearance.

Lack of oxygen to the brain

Nasal congestion and difficulty breathing can easily lead to insufficient oxygen supply to the brain. Long-term hypoxia of the cerebral blood vessels can cause drowsiness, memory loss, and in severe cases, dizziness, headaches, and even cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems.

Multiple complications

A healthy nasal cavity can filter out pollutants. Once you suffer from rhinitis, harmful substances such as particulate matter can easily enter the respiratory tract and induce diseases such as bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma

According to a survey conducted by the World Health Organization, approximately 90% of nasopharyngeal cancer patients worldwide are related to worsening rhinitis.

Here are some tips from Qingbitang Nose Health Center to reduce the incidence of rhinitis:

Reduce exposure to allergens

For people with sensitive constitutions, they can wear a mask when going out to reduce contact with various allergens. It can also keep the mouth and nose warm and moist, and reduce the stimulation of cold air.

Cleaning the nasal cavity

Allergens in the air are inhaled into the nasal cavity and easily deposited on the nasal mucosa, causing symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and nasal obstruction. Therefore, it is best for rhinitis patients to clean their nasal cavity and moisturize the nasal mucosa on a daily basis.

Replenish lung qi

Allergic rhinitis is caused by lung deficiency, which makes it impossible to stop the invasion of evil qi, resulting in the nose being affected. Therefore, it is crucial to replenish lung qi. The rise and fall of lung qi is determined to a certain extent by the strength of the spleen, so the spleen and lungs often need to be replenished together.

At the same time, Qingbitang Nose Health Center recommends that patients with rhinitis need to change the following bad habits in their lives, which is also conducive to the recovery of rhinitis, such as:

Wring your nose hard

When you have a severe cold, do not squeeze your nose hard, because the ears and nasal cavity are connected, and when you pinch the nostrils, some bacteria and foreign matter may take the opportunity to enter the middle ear and induce otitis media.

Trimming nose hair

The nasal hair in the nostrils is a natural disease-proof barrier. The nasal hair and the mucus secreted by the nasal mucosa can work together to filter and effectively block harmful substances such as bacteria and dust. The correct way is to cut off the exposed part and do not cut too much nasal hair inside the nostrils.

Picking your nose

The nasal cavity is rich in capillaries, and picking your nose can easily damage the nasal mucosa. It can also bring bacteria on your hands into the nasal cavity, increasing the chance of lower respiratory tract infection.
