Itchy palate, sneezing, runny nose

The upper palate is often prone to dryness or ulcers. Of course, in addition to these conditions, there are other conditions, such as itching of the upper palate, accompanied by symptoms of sneezing and runny nose. What's going on when my palate itches, I sneeze and have a runny nose? If these symptoms occur, it is necessary for people to first understand why. Knowing the specific reasons will help people better solve the problem.

Allergic rhinitis, also known as allergic rhinitis, is an allergic reaction that occurs in the nasal mucosa due to the body's increased sensitivity to certain allergens (also known as allergens). It is also a common manifestation of respiratory allergy and sometimes exists simultaneously with bronchial asthma. The clinical symptoms of allergic rhinitis are similar to those of "allergic rhinitis" and "sneezing" in traditional Chinese medicine.

The symptoms of allergic rhinitis vary depending on the irritating factors, the duration and amount of contact with allergens, and the patient's body response. The symptoms of perennial allergic rhinitis may occur at any time, sometimes mild and sometimes severe, and often coexist with other allergic diseases in the body. Seasonal allergic rhinitis occurs seasonally. Typical symptoms of allergic rhinitis: paroxysmal continuous sneezing, often in the morning, sometimes several to dozens of sneezes. At the same time, the nose, eyes and throat may itch. Patients often consciously pick their noses and rub their noses with their hands, even rubbing their noses until they turn red, but the itching cannot be relieved. During the severe edema period, the amount of nasal discharge increases and becomes watery. If a secondary infection occurs, the discharge becomes purulent. Due to edema of the nasal mucosa, nasal obstruction occurs, resulting in decreased sense of smell. Drug treatment should consider the following factors: efficacy, safety, cost/effectiveness ratio, etc. Intranasal and oral administration are commonly used, and the efficacy may vary between different patients. There is no long-term sustained efficacy after discontinuation of the drug, so maintenance treatment is required for persistent allergic rhinitis. Prolonged treatment does not lead to rapid drug resistance. Intranasal administration has many advantages. High concentrations of drugs can act directly on the nose, avoiding or reducing systemic side effects. However, for patients with other allergic diseases, drugs need to act on different target organs, and intranasal administration is not the best choice. Systemic drug treatment is recommended.

1. Anti-allergic drugs: Oral Jinfumin can effectively treat symptoms such as nasal itching, sneezing and runny nose. It is suitable for mild intermittent and mild persistent allergic rhinitis, and can be used in combination with nasal corticosteroids to treat moderate to severe allergic rhinitis.

2. Glucocorticoids: Nasal corticosteroids can effectively relieve symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose and sneezing. For critically ill patients who do not respond to other drug treatments or cannot tolerate nasal medications, oral corticosteroids can be used for short-term treatment.

3. Anti-leukotriene drugs: effective for allergic rhinitis and asthma.

4. Chromone drugs: They are effective in relieving nasal symptoms, and eye drops are effective in relieving eye symptoms.

5. Intranasal decongestants: They can relieve nasal congestion symptoms caused by nasal congestion. The course of treatment should be controlled within 7 days.

6. Intranasal anticholine drugs: can effectively suppress runny nose.

7. Chinese medicine: choose {Bidaning rhinitis essential oil} nasal drops. The treatment principles for children and the elderly are the same as those for adults, but special attention should be paid to avoiding adverse drug reactions.

8. Pregnant patients should use various drugs with caution.

Immunotherapy is a treatment recommended by the World Health Organization that may modify the course of the disease. Immunotherapy induces clinical and immunological tolerance with long-term effects, preventing the development of allergic diseases. Allergen-specific immunotherapy is commonly used by subcutaneous injection and sublingual administration. The treatment course is divided into a dose accumulation phase and a dose maintenance phase, and the total treatment course is no less than 2 years. Standardized allergen vaccines should be used.

Indications: Mainly used for patients with allergic rhinitis who are not responsive to conventional drug treatment.

Contraindications: ① Asthma attack; ② The patient is using beta-blockers; ③ Combination with other immune diseases; ④ Pregnant women; ⑤ The patient cannot understand the risks and limitations of treatment. Immunotherapy may cause local and systemic adverse reactions.

Indications for surgical treatment : ① The symptoms of nasal congestion are not improved by medication or immunotherapy, and there are obvious signs, affecting the quality of life; ② There are obvious anatomical variations in the nasal cavity, accompanied by functional disorders; ③ Combined with chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps, and drug treatment is ineffective.

Surgical treatment is not a routine treatment for allergic rhinitis.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment Traditional Chinese Medicine calls allergic rhinitis "rhinitis", and it mainly follows the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment, adjusting the body's yin and yang balance to alleviate attacks, and strengthening the body to achieve a cure.
