My nose is very itchy and I keep sneezing. What should I do?

When the nose is particularly itchy, it is easy to sneeze frequently, especially for people with allergic constitution. After contact with allergens, the nasal mucosa is adversely stimulated, causing symptoms of constant sneezing. For such people, they must stay away from allergens and understand what their allergens are, such as dust, air, pollen, etc.

1. Avoid contact with allergens. Once the allergen has been clearly diagnosed, contact with it should be avoided. This is the first and most critical measure for prevention and treatment. For those who do not have clear allergens, they should try to avoid allergenic factors such as pollen, dust, and fur. For example: during pollen spreading seasons and in severe haze weather, you should try to avoid going out, or wear a mask when you must go out; keep the room ventilated and dry; try to stay away from animals and birds.

2. Seek medical attention promptly. In addition to being symptoms of a cold and fever, an itchy nose and sneezing may also be symptoms of allergic rhinitis, which can also manifest as clear nasal discharge and nasal congestion. It is necessary to go to a regular hospital for standardized diagnosis and treatment in time, and take medication under the doctor's orders to reduce or relieve symptoms. Relying on experience errors or abusing drugs may sometimes temporarily relieve symptoms, but it also leads to increased resistance to the drugs. The next time the disease recurs or worsens, the drug will not be effective.

3. Keep exercising. Allergic rhinitis is not only related to genetic inheritance from parents, but also mainly related to your own physical condition during this period. Being sick and staying up late can lead to a decrease in your body's resistance and immunity. If you have an allergic constitution, you will easily be affected by the external environment and become ill. Regular physical exercise can promote blood circulation and metabolism, enhance the body's resistance, avoid the occurrence of symptoms or alleviate symptoms when they occur again.

4. For those who have mild symptoms and do not want to take medicine, you can choose to wash your nose with normal saline or light salt water, fumigate your nose with hot water, or rub the Yingxiang point on the nose with your hands to improve nasal ventilation and reduce mucosal sensitivity.

5. Pay attention to your diet. If your nose is always itchy and you sneeze, you need to pay attention to your diet. In addition to avoiding foods that you are allergic to, you should also avoid spicy and irritating foods, tobacco and alcohol. In your daily life, eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, such as dates, yam, etc.
