Allergic rhinitis and cold, can't be distinguished
Spring is the high-incidence season of allergic rhinitis. For patients with allergic rhinitis, they can only cry!
A lot of snot and tears, endless bitter history of rhinitis, taking medicine, sprays, and a pile of various masks
In the dead of night, I rubbed my nose and tossed and turned, and opened my eyes in the morning and still "sneezed"
During the season change, there are many subtle changes in the environment that are invisible to the naked eye, such as relatively low humidity, relatively more floating dust and microorganisms, which may cause an increase in allergens. In addition, after a hot summer, the human body's immunity is reduced, and people with allergic constitutions will develop autumn allergic rhinitis.
Allergic rhinitis is different from the symptoms of colds. Allergic rhinitis is divided into two types, one is perennial and the other is seasonal, which generally occurs in spring and autumn every year.
Allergic rhinitis is mainly characterized by nasal itching, nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, etc., which need to be distinguished from cold symptoms.
1. Sneezing: You will sneeze when you have a cold, but not often. One of the symptoms of allergic rhinitis is continuous sneezing, and you may even sneeze dozens of times a day.
2. Clear runny nose: Clear runny nose usually occurs in the early stages of a cold, and the amount is not large. Allergic rhinitis is just the opposite, with a lot of runny nose accompanying sneezing.
3. Nasal congestion: Both allergic rhinitis and colds will have nasal congestion symptoms. Generally, if the nasal congestion lasts for more than 7 days, it is likely to be allergic rhinitis, not a cold.
4. Itchy nose: The main symptom of the nose during a cold is nasal congestion, and the main symptom of allergic rhinitis is nasal itching, which you can't help but need to keep rubbing your nose with your hands. Severe patients also have itching in the eyes, ears, throat, etc., and a loss of smell.
5. Systemic symptoms: Colds are complicated by some systemic symptoms, such as fever, general weakness, muscle aches, etc. Since allergic rhinitis is an allergic reaction of the nasal mucosa to a certain substance, the possibility of systemic symptoms during the attack is relatively small.
Rhinitis patients should face treatment at the early stage of the disease. Many people think that this disease is not serious, so they lack attention. In fact, if allergic rhinitis is not treated for a long time, it will not only cause sinusitis, nasal concha hypertrophy, nasal polyps, otitis media and other ear, nose and throat diseases, but also cause allergic conjunctivitis, pharyngitis, asthma, hypertension and other comprehensive diseases.
Allergic rhinitis refers to rhinitis caused by chronic inflammation of the nasal mucosa, which shows symptoms similar to allergic rhinitis induced by inhaled allergens such as pollen. Its common symptoms are:
* Postnasal drip
* Runny nose
* Sneezing
* Nasal congestion
Allergic rhinitis often develops in adulthood, and symptoms persist throughout the year. It is usually relatively mild in summer and relatively severe in autumn, winter and spring.
Unlike allergic rhinitis, allergic rhinitis is not caused by the immune system's misidentification of targets. But the similarity is that allergic rhinitis can also make patients miserable.
At the same time, allergic rhinitis, like allergic rhinitis, can also induce the following complications:
*Sinusitis Swelling and inflammation of the sinus mucosa.
*Eustachian tube dysfunction The Eustachian tube connecting the nasal passages and the middle ear can be blocked by nasal mucus due to blowing the nose too hard.
*Chronic otitis media Otitis media is often caused by the protracted inflammation of chronic rhinitis.
*Hyposmia or temporary loss of smell Can be caused by nasal congestion or changes in the direction of airflow in the nasal passages.
*Asthma Long-term and severe chronic rhinitis can easily induce asthma.
Treatment tips
1. Prevention
It is not easy to cure allergic rhinitis. In addition to avoiding allergens, the most important thing is prevention.
2. Reduce contact with triggers that cause allergies
In spring and autumn, pollen, dust mites, and mold will all be triggers of these conditions. People with allergic rhinitis should avoid these allergens on the one hand, and wear masks to protect their mouths and noses when going out on the other hand.
3. Environmental factors
The indoor environment should be kept ventilated and dry. Quilts, pillows, blankets and other bedding should be exposed to the sun and beaten regularly, and mites should be removed regularly.
4. Individuals should also pay attention to exercise and strengthen their physical fitness, especially many growing children.
5. Diet
Eat a light diet, eat less processed food, try to avoid eating high-fat and high-calorie foods, and do not drink ice water.
Setipiprant powder comes from Setipiprant, a tetrahydropyridoindole derivative, which is a CRTH2 (chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on T-helper[Tn]-2 cells) antagonist that has the potential to be effective in the treatment of patients with diseases with an allergic etiology, such as allergic rhinitis and asthma.Currently, as an investigational oral medication being tested for use as a hair loss treatment, Setipiprant works at specific possible molecular targets in the hair follicle.
