Beijing's more allergenic pollen is about to enter its peak. How should pollen allergy patients protect themselves?

The pollen with strong allergenicity in Beijing is about to enter the peak period, and the pollen of Ulmaceae in Beijing is gradually coming to an end, but the pollen of cypress and willow with strong allergenicity enters the peak period, and the susceptible population should strengthen protection. Since February 2 1 day, the number of outpatients in allergy department has gradually increased, which indicates that Beijing has entered the spring pollen period.

How should people with pollen allergy protect themselves? Avoid direct contact with pollen and use drugs and immunotherapy.

First of all, be sure to stay away from densely populated areas and travel cautiously! This is an opportunity to fundamentally avoid direct contact with pollen. In the pollen season, we should try to reduce going to suburbs and parks. Even if you go out, you should shorten the time of outdoor activities at this time and try to choose the time with low pollen concentration, such as early morning, evening and after rain.

Remember to wear a pollen mask when you go out. This kind of mask is different from our ordinary mask, especially it says pollen prevention. Be sure to read it clearly when buying it. Wear protective glasses if necessary.

In allergic season, nasal irrigation device is also a good preventive and supportive measure, because the nasal mucosa of this group of people is sensitive and fragile, whether it is allergic rhinitis patients or pollen allergic patients. At this time, the nasal cavity is washed with normal saline, which plays a role in nursing and prevention. However, it should also be noted that it is good to wash it at most twice a day, not too often.

At home, if there is too much pollen in season and you live nearby, you should close the doors and windows when the pollen concentration is high, and you can install an air purifier at home if possible. In addition, wash and change frequently. At this time, if girls are allergic to their faces, they should stop using cosmetics appropriately.

If there are pets at home at this time, try to keep your distance. Usually, it is not the peak of pollen. Children of susceptible people can get in touch with nature more after birth, grow up with pets, use less disinfectants at home and avoid using antibiotics.

Second, experts say that timely symptomatic medication can avoid acute allergic attacks. At present, the most effective treatment for patients with pollen allergy is specific immunotherapy, that is, after the allergen of the patient is determined, the corresponding antigen is injected for desensitization. However, this treatment process lasts for two to three years, but if it persists, 70% to 80% of patients will be effectively controlled. Generally, there will be no more symptoms or less medication, and at the same time, the proportion of allergic rhinitis developing into asthma can be reduced.
