Rhinitis during pregnancy

Pregnant women are happy, but the bodies of pregnant women are weak and they are particularly prone to illness during this period because the physical constitution of pregnant women is the worst. Therefore, you must pay special attention and take good care of your body to avoid any adverse effects on the fetus. Pregnant women are in a special situation. They are more likely to catch colds and be affected by other diseases during this period, such as pregnancy rhinitis.

The so-called pregnancy rhinitis actually refers to the inflammation of the nose during pregnancy. Once a woman suffers from pregnancy rhinitis, she will experience symptoms such as frequent nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing. So, how can women get effective treatment after suffering from pregnancy rhinitis?

Pregnant women who suffer from rhinitis during childbirth are mostly suffering from rhinitis due to hormonal changes in the woman's body after pregnancy. Rhinitis during pregnancy is mostly caused by excessive estrogen secretion.

The following treatments are currently available for rhinitis during pregnancy:

1. Once a pregnant woman has nasal congestion, runny nose, etc., vasoconstrictors can be appropriately applied locally, but they should not be used for a long time, generally not more than 3 to 5 days, to avoid the formation of physical rhinitis;

2. If purulent nasal discharge occurs, certain antibacterial substances may be used as appropriate, but ototoxic antibiotics such as streptomycin, gentamicin, kanamycin, etc. are prohibited;

3. If general treatment is ineffective for rhinitis during pregnancy, nasal sprays can be used after clearing nasal secretions. They can not only reduce local edema and congestion, but also have fewer systemic side effects. When symptoms are severe, nasal sprays can be injected under the inferior turbinate. Symptom improvement can last for 3 to 6 weeks.

If female friends accidentally get rhinitis during pregnancy, in addition to following the treatment methods introduced above, they should also pay attention to ensuring the hygiene of their environment, open windows more often to get some fresh air, and change clothes frequently. In terms of diet, you can eat more foods containing vitamins, such as: tomatoes, green dates, leeks, oranges, lemons, etc. These foods are not only rich in vitamins, but also can keep your blood vessels elastic, thereby improving pregnancy rhinitis.
