There is a big hidden danger behind the small sneeze, allergic rhinitis can be cured
The temperature gradually warmed up, everything began to recover, and people went out to enjoy the endless spring.
However, sneezing, nasal congestion, and runny nose always disturb our good mood.
Caught a cold and caught a cold?
No, it's probably allergic.
Spring is the season of high incidence of allergies. Dust, pollen and bacteria in the air "freeze themselves" and flutter in the wind, which can easily cause allergic symptoms.
These small symptoms, we really don't take them seriously.
Today, experts from the Beijing Institute of Health Education came to talk to everyone about the hidden health risks behind allergic rhinitis.
Rhinitis is not old enough to finally find the root cause
Allergic rhinitis, also known as allergic rhinitis, refers to an allergic (or non-specific) inflammatory disease mediated by IgE that appears after the nasal mucosa is exposed to allergens in patients with specific genetic predispositions.
It is mainly manifested by symptoms such as nasal itching, nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing. These symptoms can be relieved by treatment or naturally.
Allergic rhinitis can be divided into perennial and seasonal.
Perennial rhinitis generally does not have any regularity, and may get worse at any time, and then suddenly heal again; while seasonal rhinitis, symptoms mainly appear during the pollen season, which is also called hay fever.
The onset occurs in two specific seasons, spring and autumn, and may last for one to two months.
What causes rhinitis repeatedly?
According to experts from the Health Education Institute, there are two main pathogenic factors for allergic rhinitis. Both internal and external factors are important factors in the disease.
One is the allergy-causing substances in the external environment, namely allergens.
The other is the internal cause, that is, the change of the individual's physique and endocrine.
For example, pregnant women may develop allergic rhinitis due to changes in hormone levels during pregnancy.
But not only sneezing rhinitis can also lead to these diseases
Sinusitis and the respiratory tract of nasal polyps are one body. After suffering from allergic rhinitis, a series of reactions will occur. Long-term existence can easily cause sinusitis.
Bronchial asthma and allergic rhinitis continue to spread along the airway, and symptoms such as wheezing, itchy throat, and cough may occur, or it may develop into allergic pharyngitis.
Secretory otitis media manifests as blocked ears. The ears seem to be covered by water or covered by hands. Sometimes there will be tinnitus. The biggest problem is hearing loss.
Allergic conjunctivitis is manifested as red, swollen, itchy, bloodshot eyes and tears.
Sleep disorders Inflammation of the nasal cavity leads to nasal congestion, which is easy to cause snoring, also called sleep apnea. After a long period of time, it will cause severe chronic hypoxia in the body, which is a high-risk factor leading to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Five therapies do not take medicine to help relieve symptoms
Is it impossible to get out if you are "entangled" by allergic rhinitis?
Don't worry, experts from the Health Education Institute recommend five treatments that can relieve symptoms without taking medicine.
The fumigation therapy has volatile components, which can be used to relieve wind and relieve symptoms, and can be volatilized by decoction, and then fumigated to the nasal cavity through breathing to improve symptoms.
However, the selection of drugs still requires a doctor's recommendation.
In addition, when the mouth and nose are dry and uncomfortable, you can pour a cup of hot water to smoke your eyes and nose to improve the local environment and restore the function of the mucous membrane itself.
For those who are prone to catching colds with medicated diet therapy, you can cook some nepeta and wind-proof drink, which can dispel the cold and relieve the orifice and prevent colds.
Those with deficiency of lung and spleen qi can eat yam and ginseng chicken soup with ginger and jujube to invigorate the spleen and qi.
Remember, medicated diet does not need to be taken every day. If the physique is weak, you can take it once a week or two.
In addition, people with kidney yang deficiency can eat some walnuts and yam porridge, which is convenient and easy to make and can be eaten every day.
In diet therapy, eat less spicy, greasy, and irritating foods; eat less processed foods, such as cakes, snacks, and candies.
To be nutritionally balanced and enhance immunity.
Moxibustion therapy mostly uses moxibustion to moxibus the two acupoints Zusanli and Yintang.
Yintang is located between the center of the eyebrows, and the Zusanli point is located at the four transverse fingers under the eyes of the outer knee and the edge of the tibia.
Acupuncture point therapy usually rubs the Dazhui point.
On the midline of the back, when lowering your head, touch down from the neck to the highest bony protrusion (the spine of the seventh cervical vertebra). In the depression below, rubbing more can improve immunity.
In addition, control the environmental humidity at about 40% to 50%; reduce the dust in the bedroom and change the bedding regularly; avoid irritating substances and allergens, pay attention to clean the nasal cavity; pay attention to a light diet and balanced nutrition; exercise moderately to maintain a good mood Wait, it is also a good way to prevent allergic rhinitis.
