The so-called allergic rhinitis, although it is not life-threatening, but it seriously affects the daily life of patients.
In addition to sneezing, runny nose, itchy nose, etc., it is also accompanied by symptoms such as itchy eyes, nasal congestion, nasal sounds in speech, sleep snoring, etc., which seriously affects the quality of personal life.

Allergic rhinitis, how to relieve the symptoms?
Unfortunately, allergic rhinitis has not yet been completely cured, this disease is a chronic inflammation, patients need long-term treatment and care.
For the treatment of allergic rhinitis, professional doctors recommend a "four-in-one" treatment plan for treatment.
First, avoid contact with allergens
The cause of allergic rhinitis is inhalation of an allergen, which causes patients to develop clinical manifestations such as itchy nose, persistent sneezing, nasal discharge, and nasal congestion, which can also be accompanied by symptoms such as itchy eyes, tears, chest tightness, itchy throat, and cough.
Therefore, the most fundamental way to treat the disease is to avoid touching the allergen.
If you are unfortunate enough to suffer from allergic rhinitis, you should confirm the allergen as soon as possible, and after confirming the allergen, avoid contact with it in your daily life.
If the allergen is pollen, then the patient should go out less during the pollen dispersal season, and if need to go out, wear protective equipment such as masks to avoid inhaling pollen and aggravating the disease.
If you are allergic to fungi or dust mites, you should pay attention to indoor ventilation to keep the indoor environment dry and clean.
If you are allergic to the animal's hair and excrement, you should stay away from the animal.
Second, medication
Drug therapy is the main method of treating the disease, with the advantage of simple and clear effect, through the drug can effectively reduce symptoms and control the disease.
There are a variety of drugs currently treated, including antihistamines such as diclonamin, benzbronamine, and hydrolestatin, as well as glucocorticoids such as budesonide, mometasone furoate, and fluticasone, as well as mast cell stabilizers and leukotriene receptor antagonists.
Antihistamines are the drugs of choice for the treatment of this disease, and have a good control effect on symptoms such as nasal itching, paroxysmal sneezing, nasal discharge and nasal congestion, and have the advantages of high safety and small side effects.
Corticosteroids, on the other hand, are indicated in patients with severe symptoms.
Third, surgical treatment
If the patient has lower turbinate hyperplasia or turbinate hypertrophy, it should be removed surgically, which can effectively alleviate nasal ventilation.
Although the treatment effect of surgery is very good, it is necessary to strictly follow the indications and contraindications of surgery, and decide whether to take surgery according to the specific situation of the patient.
Fourth, specific immunotherapy
This method is to reduce the patient's symptoms by exposing the patient to the allergen extract multiple times, so that the patient's tolerance to the allergen extract is increased, so as to alleviate the patient's symptoms, and this method is the only treatment measure that targets the cause.
At present, the clinical use of subcutaneous injection and sublingual administration for specific immunotherapy, the treatment time is longer, generally takes about three months.
Washing the nose frequently can relieve allergic rhinitis
For symptoms caused by mild allergic rhinitis, it is recommended to try "saline" to rinse the nasal passages 1-2 times a day.
Washing the nasal cavity with normal saline can wash out nasal secretions and allergens, keep the nasal cavity moist, and improve the function of the nasal mucosa.
Of course, if the symptoms of rhinitis cannot be controlled, it needs to be treated with drugs.
Once the nose is blocked, the whole person is not good, and it may reduce the supply of oxygen and affect human health.
