Seasonal allergic rhinitis

Seasonal allergic rhinitis only occurs in a certain season. Patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis will experience bursts of sneezing every day, often several times in a row. I have a stuffy nose every day, and there is a lot of watery nasal discharge. I have to change my handkerchiefs several times a day. If allergic rhinitis is not curbed in time, it will lead to allergic conjunctivitis, keratitis, pharyngitis, etc.

For patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis, unbearable nasal itching is inevitable, so they have to squint their eyes and rub their noses often while waiting for the flowering season to pass. Most patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis will recover without treatment after the flowering season is over. Patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis often mistakenly believe that they have a cold or heat cold when they develop the disease in the first year. However, when they suffer from a "cold" again in the same season and time period in the second and third years, they begin to doubt the nature of the disease and seek further diagnosis and treatment. Another characteristic of the disease is that it is regional.

To determine whether you have seasonal allergic rhinitis, the following six points are typical symptoms of allergic rhinitis. As long as you have two or more matching symptoms, you are likely to suffer from seasonal allergic rhinitis.

1. Runny nose, nasal congestion, and postnasal drip, which lead to nausea and cough, and sometimes gurgling due to itchy palate. Examination of the nasal cavity reveals swelling of the middle and inferior nasal conchae, and gray or pale nasal mucosa, which is very different from the redness and swelling of the throat or fever caused by colds or other respiratory diseases. A large number of eosinophils and mast cells can be detected from the nasal secretions, and allergic reactions or skin tests are usually positive.

2. Itching of eyes, nose and throat.

3. Conjunctivitis.

4. Dark circles under the eyes are caused by long-term congestion of the sinuses resulting in poor blood circulation.

5. The tip of the nose is upturned or has horizontal lines - the nose tip is thicker due to long-term rubbing of the nose.

6. The tears in my eyes never dry up.

For patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis, they should drink more water to help the body's metabolism; live a regular life, and open windows for ventilation in the room to maintain indoor air circulation; add or remove clothes in time according to climate changes; go to bed early and get up early, and do appropriate exercise to help increase the body's resistance, etc.
