Why does my nose itch when I sleep at night?

If your nose itches when you sleep at night, you should pay attention to it. If your nose itches often when you sleep at night, it may be caused by chronic rhinitis, especially allergic rhinitis. In addition, for people with allergic constitution, it is easy to be stimulated and affected by dust mites or dust, resulting in itchy nose. If it is serious, you can go to the hospital for specific examination.

Why does my nose itch when I sleep at night?

1. Itchy nose is a common symptom of allergies

For example, patients who are allergic to pollen should try to avoid going outside as much as possible. If they go out, they should try to wear a mask during the spring season when pollen allergies are prone to occur. For symptoms caused by dust mites, you should actively maintain good indoor hygiene, frequently change bed sheets, quilt covers, and underwear, and also regularly clean indoor dead corners such as under the bed, under the table, in the gaps of furniture and wardrobes, and use a vacuum cleaner or rags and mops to clean the dust in the dead corners to make the indoor air fresh.

2. Itchy nose may also be caused by chronic rhinitis

Therefore, patients with chronic rhinitis must adhere to treatment. They should not stop taking medication once their nose is cured, which will cause rhinitis to recur repeatedly. In the end, it will cost more money to take medicine, and both financial and energy resources will be greatly affected.

Many people feel itchy nose and want to sneeze all the time in autumn, which is very uncomfortable. Experts from the Department of Otolaryngology at Harbin Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital remind that constant sneezing and itchy nose are likely allergic rhinitis, but specific examinations are needed to determine whether it is allergic rhinitis and the severity of the allergic rhinitis.

The occurrence of allergic rhinitis is closely related to the sensitization effect of allergens. Therefore, for identified allergens, such as medicines, contact should be avoided as much as possible. People with hay fever should reduce outdoor activities as much as possible during pollen spreading periods such as spring and autumn; if they must be outdoors or work, they should wear a mask. Patients with perennial rhinitis should improve their living environment, not keep dogs, cats and other animals, not use carpets and feather bedding, keep the room clean and hygienic, reduce indoor dust, keep the room ventilated, and hang clothes frequently.
