I am a patient with allergic rhinitis, and I think the pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis is probably as follows: the immune system is too sensitive, and it kills crazy, and there is no distinction between friend and foe!
Allergic rhinitis is a bother
In the past, when I saw others holding their noses, I always had an inferiority complex, and I felt that my nose must have been pinched by others, otherwise how could I feel so sensitive?
Especially in the morning, sneezes come as soon as they say, and they go as soon as they say, regardless of time or occasion. It may take about 10 sneezes to get up in the morning, and when you smell a pungent smell at noon, you may have about 10 sneezes in a row, which is really embarrassing.
Be sure to bring enough toilet paper and a bottle of spray when you go out, because there is something scratching and itching in my nose, and there are so many snot and sneezes that I doubt my life. When I went to bed at night, I had to sleep on my side and woke up in the middle of the night many times because of nasal congestion.
During the day, you have to get used to the strange eyes around you, every time you have a rhinitis attack, you are particularly concerned, some are sneezing during a meeting, and the leader who speaks is very embarrassed with yourself;
The road to the treatment of allergic rhinitis
I was really tormented by allergic rhinitis, and I also took some medicine during the period, and it was slightly relieved, but it still came back and forth. Through a friend's introduction, I came to Mingren ENT Hospital with the mentality of giving it a try.
The doctor asked me about my condition very carefully, and also gave me an allergen test, which confirmed that I was allergic to cat hair, mites, pollen, etc., and told me to minimize contact with allergens.
The doctor suggested that I should be treated with medication, which could be used for nasal irrigation with nasal physiological seawater 1-2 times a day, with nasal spray hormones such as mometasone furoate or fluticasone for 1-3 months at an interval of 15 minutes after irrigation, and also prescribed me ephedrine diphenhydramine tablets, cetirizine hydrochloride tablets and other drugs.
After two weeks of continuous medication, I felt that the effect was very obvious, I stopped sneezing, and I slept soundly at night.
Share tips for allergic rhinitis prevention:
1. Clarify allergens: You should be clear about which items you are allergic to, such as animal hair, pollen, dust mites, certain drugs, etc.
2. Pay attention to environmental hygiene: pay attention to the environmental hygiene, keep the indoor environment clean and dry, and reduce dust mites.
