How to prevent rhinitis during pregnancy

1. Improve the environment and balance the diet. Patients with rhinitis during pregnancy should pay attention to the hygiene of their working and living environment, open windows regularly to improve indoor air quality, wash their hair and take a bath frequently, change pillow cores and quilts frequently to prevent the growth of dust and mold, and avoid smoking and being exposed to secondhand smoke or polluted air. During pregnancy, you can eat more foods rich in vitamin C and vitamin E, such as vegetables, tomatoes, oranges, dates, beans, lean meat, milk, eggs, etc., which can increase the elasticity of blood vessels, improve the blood circulation of the nasal mucosa; try to eat cold foods and drink various kinds of alcohol.

2. Pay great attention to the hygiene of the nasal environment and take the initiative to prevent influenza. It is very important to maintain the nose well. During the cold seasons in autumn and winter or when fever and colds are prevalent, try to avoid going to public places, wear a mask when going out, keep your mouth and nose warm and moist, and reduce the irritation of dry and cold air; when the indoor air quality is dry, pregnant mothers are advised to use an air humidifier to supplement the relative humidity of the air; avoid excessive irritating smells, such as mosquito coils, incense, paint, cleaning fluid, etc.; for rooms with dirty air, you can use white rice vinegar fumigation to disinfect the room. In addition, we must actively prevent influenza. After catching a cold, we can take brown sugar ginger water as soon as possible to eliminate "dampness" to reduce the chance of sinusitis.

3. Keep a happy mood. Maintaining a stable mood is beneficial to the physical and mental health of pregnant mothers and fetuses, and strong mood swings should be avoided; pregnant mothers who often cry and make a fuss or have a depressed mentality should immediately adjust their mentality.

4. Exercise regularly to improve the body's resistance. Pregnant women should avoid various factors that cause the body's immunity to decline, such as overwork, lack of rest, colds, etc. This is because when the body's immunity declines, the nasal mucosa's regulatory function is poor, and the defense function is not high, so viruses will take advantage of the opportunity to invade and cause illness. In addition, such as jogging in the morning, washing your face with cold water, and taking a walk at noon can enhance immunity, increase the body's tolerance to cold, and increase the body's adaptability to poor conditions to prevent rhinitis during pregnancy.
