Rhinitis is a common phenomenon that tends to occur in the spring of each year. Patients develop white nose, sticky nose, and muscular nose when they develop the disease. Especially when cold weather is encountered, symptoms are significantly worsened. Therefore, patients must receive formal treatment to achieve the purpose of improving the disease. During the treatment, maintain a good mood and avoid irritability and anger.
Treatment of rhinitis is divided into surgical and non-surgical treatments. Some patients with severe symptoms of the disease need to be improved by surgery and medication. So what drugs are most effective for a patient with rhinitis?
First, the harm of rhinitis
Rhinitis is more harmful, long-term rhinitis can cause olfactory failure, otitis media, tracheitis and sleep apnea syndrome. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the observation of changes in the body to prevent further deterioration of complications.
Rhinitis can cause a loss of the sense of smell, mainly due to viral infections. The virus entering the interior of the nasal cavity can cause edema or inflammation of the nasal mucosa, and the olfactory nervous system is located deep in the nasal cavity, so it can cause a decrease in the ability to smell. The above symptoms must be treated with drugs in time without delay.
Moderate to severe rhinitis can cause acute otitis media and secretory otitis media. The disease causes hyperemia and swelling of the mucous membrane at the nasopharyngeal site, resulting in narrowing of the Eustachian tube orifice, which eventually causes hearing loss or inaudibleness. In addition, patients may have symptoms such as earache, tinnitus, and fever.
Tracheitis is one of the main symptoms of rhinitis. The onset is related to upper and lower respiratory tract infections, and respiratory clinical symptoms occur after the upper and lower respiratory tracts are infected by bacteria. Examples include coughing, wheezing, chills, and fever.
Rhinitis can cause sleep apnea syndrome. Patients may present with poor breathing, dyspnea, and dizziness and headache. Severe patients may even have problems with sleep disturbances. For example, it is difficult to sleep all night, restless sleep, easy to have nightmares and easy to wake up.
Second, the specific symptoms of rhinitis
The symptoms of rhinitis are complex and varied, and there are no specific symptoms. Patients may present with rhinitis accompanied by nasal congestion, runny nose, weakness, inattention, and memory loss. Therefore, patients should pay enough attention.
Usually patients with rhinitis have significant nasal congestion. Manifested by enlarged nasal mucosa, itching of the nose, and nasal polyps. If symptoms persist to be severe, surgery should be considered for radical treatment.
Nasal congestion can also lead to runny nose, most of which are caused by colds. Living in an environment with severe air pollution for a long time, the chance of getting sick will increase significantly. Patients present with recurrent sneezing and runny nose. Such patients are advised to actively wear masks when going out to reduce bacterial infections.
Most patients with nasal congestion will have a weak constitution. Rhinitis is prone to recurrent attacks, causing a decrease in immunity and resistance, and eventually causing a deterioration of physical fitness. Patients often have pallor, malaise, oligosy, laziness, and aberration.
In addition, a small number of patients with rhinitis will be accompanied by both inattention and memory loss. Mainly due to the fact that the disease can invade the brain nervous system, causing hypoxia or ischemia in the brain. When it is severe, it can even affect life and work.
Third, how to treat rhinitis
Rhinitis treatment is divided into drug treatment, surgical treatment and Traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Different treatments have different therapeutic effects. The vast majority of these patients are allergic rhinitis and require long-term control and management.
Medication is one of the most important means of treating rhinitis. Common drugs are antihistamines, anticholines, decongestants, and leukotriene blockers. The most widely used are antihistamines such as Karretam and cetirizine. The drug can effectively reduce the inflammatory response of the nasal mucosa and promote the repair of damaged ciliated epithelium to alleviate symptoms. So relatively speaking, this drug is the most effective.
However, adverse reactions such as hallucinations, drowsiness, excitement, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and dry mouth may occur during medication. In addition, there was no significant improvement after taking the drug for more than a week and the drug was stopped. so as not to cause drug-induced rhinitis.
Surgical treatment is mainly based on drug treatment, supplemented by surgery. Common procedures include selective neurotomy, submucosal partial resection of the lower turbinate, inward displacement plus fixation of the lateral lateral wall of the nasal cavity, anterior nostril closure, and nasal coarctation. Anti-infection therapy is required after the above surgery, and spicy and irritating foods should not be eaten during treatment, and indoor air circulation should be ensured.
Most of the drugs used in rhinitis surgery are anti-inflammatory drugs commonly used in cephalosporin antibiotics, penicillins, clindamycin, levofloxacin and azithromycin. Patients should pay attention to reasonable rest and prohibit staying up late during medication.
Traditional Chinese medicine treatment of rhinitis includes drug treatment and external treatment. Medication is mainly improved by taking some proprietary Chinese medicines. Common proprietary Chinese medicines include Jade Screen Powder, Heat Removal And Dehumidification Formula, Yiwen Yang Soup and so on. External treatment method is mainly through acupuncture treatment to achieve the purpose of treatment. Acupuncture treatment generally uses Yingxiang Acupoint, Hegu Acupoint, Zusanli Acupoint and Shangxing Acupoint.
In addition, dietary therapy is also a good way to treat rhinitis, and Chinese medicine believes that the whole body is full of internal organs and diet. All have a certain relationship. Patients can be treated with diet by eating astragalus porridge, houttuynia cordata stewed pork lung soup, and rice vinegar boiled sea brought.
Rhinitis is a recurrent stubborn disease, in addition to the above several common treatment methods, usually elderly patients should also actively protect from cold and warmth, pay attention to stay away from exhaust gas pollution and so on. In addition, patients can wash their nose with normal saline or water.
Fourth, can rhinitis be cured?
In fact, most rhinitis cannot be completely cured. If the symptoms are mild, there is a hope that the radical effect can be achieved by desensitizing the injection method. The onset of rhinitis is located in the nasal mucosa, and the difficulty coefficient of treatment is relatively high, and it has the characteristics of recurrent attacks. Usually, in addition to active prevention, it is also necessary to minimize the situation of colds and fevers.
Especially allergic rhinitis. Allergic rhinitis is a non-infectious inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa, and patients develop symptoms such as water, oxygen, rhinitis and nasal congestion. At present, under the limitation of the level of medical technology, it can only be treated and controlled by drugs, and there is no other radical cure.
But more than half of patients can get good relief with standardized treatment. After suffering from allergic rhinitis, you must first change the living environment, and then take some drugs orally according to the degree of disease. For example, cetirizine, loratadine, budesonide and so on.
Examination of the body can clearly show pale edematous changes in the nasal mucosa, accompanied by a large amount of secretion. In addition, pediatric patients with asthma should be vaccinated as soon as possible. Allergic rhinitis has a certain seasonality, if you do not have a history of allergies or other chronic diseases should try to prohibit vaccination.
According to the survey, the proportion of people with allergic rhinitis is very high. Injectable vaccines have a certain preventive effect and effect, which can significantly reduce the chance of rhinitis onset, and at the same time have a good protective effect on the body.
To prevent seasonal rhinitis, anti-allergic drugs need to be used as early as possible to prevent it. At the same time, targeted treatment should be carried out according to different types of rhinitis. In addition, we should pay attention to more maintenance in life.
V. There are several common types of rhinitis
Rhinitis is inflammation of the mucous membranes of the nasal cavity due to various causes, and reasonable treatment is the key. However, before treatment, it is important to understand what types of rhinitis are in total to achieve better efficacy and improve the quality of life of the individual. Common rhinitis are allergic rhinitis, acute rhinitis, chronic rhinitis and drug-induced rhinitis.
Allergic rhinitis is when the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity comes into contact with allergens and undergoes a chemical reaction, and a retin-mediated type I allergic reaction causes the body to produce antibodies to produce symptoms. If the patient is exposed to allergen antibodies for the second time, a new antibody response to the allergen is rapidly developed.
Acute rhinitis is mainly transmitted by droplets. Common pathogenic bacteria are hemolytic streptococcus, pneumococcus and staphylococcus. Symptoms are mild at the beginning of the disease, and after 3-4 days, the symptoms are significantly worsened, and patients with good physical fitness can be cured in about a week. If there is a secondary bacterial infection, antibiotics are appropriately treated.
Chronic rhinitis can cause trigeminal neuralgia, headache, and normal hearing, so comprehensive measures must be taken in time to alleviate it. In addition, chronic rhinitis has the characteristics of intermittent and persistent, so it is necessary to observe changes in the body in time.
Drug-induced rhinitis, as the name suggests, refers to the symptoms of nasal congestion caused by long-term use of nasal decongestants. The principle of action of the drug is to constrict the capillaries of the nasal mucosa, thereby relieving the symptoms of nasal congestion, but long-term mass use can lead to severe ischemia and reflex vasodilation of the nasal mucosa. Therefore, when the patient has symptoms of rhinitis, the drug should be stopped immediately.
Sixth, how to prevent rhinitis
The prevention of rhinitis should be improved through daily life, patients should observe the changes in the body in time, and when suspicious symptoms are found, they should immediately go to the hospital for corresponding examinations. At the same time, you should drink more water and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. In addition, pay attention to maintaining good personal hygiene, avoiding exertion and preventing colds.
To prevent rhinitis, it is necessary to do a regular rhinoscopy. Rhinitis is a chronic inflammation with irregular symptoms. Patients are advised to go to the hospital for anterior nasal or nasal endoscopy, and some patients should also have a SINus CT examination if necessary.
Drinking more water is helpful for patients to treat rhinitis. Drinking more water can replenish water to the nasal cavity and help avoid dryness of the nasal mucosa, but drinking water can only play an adjuvant treatment effect, and cannot achieve absolute therapeutic effect. In addition, drinking water should not be too much, otherwise it will cause other harm to the body.
Patients with rhinitis should also maintain good hygiene habits, open windows in time for ventilation and maintain indoor air circulation. The environment can reduce the entry of harmful gases such as dust and smoke into the nasal cavity and reduce the incidence of rhinitis. At the same time, it is necessary to develop a regular life of going to bed early and getting up early, and ensure adequate sleep quality every day.
Patients with rhinitis should avoid overwork and cold. They cause a decline in physical fitness, affect the body's ability to concomitant bacteria, and eventually cause disease. Usually, you should maintain a good mood, which is conducive to enhancing personal resistance and will not let germs take advantage of the void.
Seven, who is prone to rhinitis
1, the elderly. The elderly are prone to rhinitis. Rhinitis may be caused by prolonged cerebral oxygen deficiency and life habits in the elderly. Therefore, the elderly should pay attention to exercise, increase or decrease clothing in time according to weather changes, prevent colds and avoid the emergence of the disease.
2. Children. Children are more likely to develop rhinitis than adults. Mainly due to the relatively weak resistance of children and poor adaptability to the external environment, the nasal mucosa is more susceptible to damage and cause rhinitis.
3. Obese people. Obese people are more likely to develop rhinitis. Most obese people suffer from three high diseases. Hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia tend to cause the blood vessels around the nasal cavity to be congested, prompting hypertrophic rhinitis to appear.
summary:
Spring is the season of high incidence of rhinitis, and individuals are susceptible to the erosion of viral bacteria leading to the emergence of diseases. Children and the elderly, in particular, should strengthen their awareness of prevention and reduce the chances of illness. Patients are susceptible to symptoms of sneezing, runny nose, and dizziness and headache when they develop the disease, and the symptoms can last for weeks or months.
Karetan and cetirizine are antihistamines that are very effective in the treatment of rhinitis. However, during the medication, it is necessary to pay attention to a reasonable dose. In addition, patients should maintain personal hygiene and exercise more actively, which has a good effect on disease prevention.
