In spring, my nose is blocked, my eyes itch, and my nose keeps running! Repel allergic rhinitis

Does your nose run like a faucet every spring? Do you often say repeatedly that your eyes are itchy and your nose is blocked? As long as you catch a cold, the problem of your nose is always the biggest. When the nose runs backwards and turns into thick phlegm, I always feel that it is difficult to get rid of a cold.

Although allergic rhinitis is not a serious illness, it will still affect children's school study and work efficiency, which should not be underestimated! Here are some treatment methods and key points.

Try to avoid contact with allergens.

Allergic rhinitis is often associated with inhaled allergens. Common indoor allergens are mainly dust mites, pet dander, insects or plants, common outdoor allergens are pollen and mold, and gas pollutants in cars are ozone and nitrogen oxides, which are also related to the deterioration of allergic rhinitis. Therefore, reducing allergen exposure is an important prerequisite for successful treatment, such as avoiding lampblack, mosquito-repellent incense, paint, pesticides and air pollution. Use an air purification system; Pets move to other places to raise, etc.

Allergen examination can be carried out when necessary.

In fact, most patients don't need a skin test or a blood test. Doctors can improve by judging clinical symptoms and giving empirical treatment, but detailed examination is of great help to avoid allergens.

What are the choices of oral medicine for allergic rhinitis?

1. Oral antihistamines are preferred over the second generation. Compared with the first generation, oral antihistamines have fewer side effects such as dry mouth and drowsiness, take effect quickly on nasal and eye symptoms (within one hour), and have moderate effect on relieving nasal congestion, but steroid nasal spray is more suitable for chronic and persistent patients.

2. Oral leukotriene regulator is currently used for maintenance treatment of asthma. Although it also has therapeutic effect on allergic rhinitis, its effect is not as good as that of steroids. It is not recommended as a first-line drug for allergic rhinitis, but it is effective for allergic rhinitis patients with asthma or nasal polyps.

What are the choices of nasal spray for allergic rhinitis?

1. Steroid nasal spray is a first-line drug for allergic rhinitis, and its curative effect is better than that of antihistamines. If the patient's symptoms have affected the quality of life, it is recommended to use. Although everyone turns pale at the smell of steroids, the effect of ordinary nasal spray on the whole body is less than 0.5%, so don't worry too much. Some people think that steroids are not effective because they are slow to take effect. The effect appears in 3-5 hours to 36 hours after the first dose, and it takes at least one week to reach the maximum effect. Therefore, impatient parents really need patience.

2. The antihistamine nasal spray takes effect quickly on the symptoms of nose and eyes (within15–30 minutes), and is suitable for acute attack, but some patients may feel bitter taste, which may affect their compliance.

3. The nasal decongestant spray has a quick effect on the symptoms of nasal congestion (5–10 minutes), but it is not helpful for other sneezing and allergic conditions. More importantly, the drug must be stopped for three days after ten days of use, otherwise the drug will rebound.

4. The nasal spray of mast cell stabilizer can inhibit mast cells from releasing histamine, but its effect on rhinitis is not as good as that of steroids and antihistamines. Its advantages are quick response and few side effects. There is evidence that it has a good effect before 30 minutes of exposure to allergens (cats and dogs).

There are also some common auxiliary treatments.

1, saline nasal lavage device: it can reduce allergens such as dust mites, pollen and suspended substances in the air in the nasal cavity, and can wash the sticky yellow nose of sinusitis. However, the common symptoms of nasal allergy are mostly watery and non-sticky nasal mucus, which can bring out allergens in the nasal cavity without special cleaning. The key point is that the nose washer can only play an auxiliary role in temporarily relieving allergic symptoms, and there is no treatment. Also pay attention to whether there are structural problems in the nose to avoid mucosal damage after use.

2. Immunotherapy: If conventional drug therapy is ineffective, drug therapy has adverse reactions or patients are unwilling to accept long-term drug therapy, subcutaneous or sublingual specific immunotherapy can be considered. After the injection, the patient should observe whether there is serious allergy for 20 minutes.

Steroid nasal spray is the first choice for mild and occasional allergic rhinitis. If the nasal congestion is obvious, patients can use nasal decongestant, but for patients whose symptoms are serious enough to affect their lives and chronic allergic rhinitis, use steroid nasal spray!

If the effect is still not good after a period of use, you can add antihistamine nasal spray. Finally, spring has come, I hope everyone can have a smooth nose.
