Can you get rhinitis when the weather is cold?

Rhinitis is not caused by cold weather, but because of cold weather and large temperature difference, rhinitis recurs. There are many kinds of rhinitis. Let's introduce the types and conditions of rhinitis, and learn about the prevention and treatment of rhinitis according to different situations! I hope I can help.

1

acute rhinitis

You usually have a runny nose and sneeze when you have a cold. Caused by acute infection, commonly known as "cold" or "cold", it may have systemic symptoms; More common in autumn and winter or at the turn of winter and spring. Generally, the condition will gradually improve after 7 ~ 14 days. Strong resistance, self-healing without treatment.

2

chronic rhinitis

It is a common and frequently-occurring disease, which develops from acute rhinitis. It is related to the secondary infection of bacteria, incomplete treatment and repeated attacks. The manifestations of chronic simple rhinitis are intermittent or alternating nasal congestion, decreased sense of smell, and nasal obstruction when speaking.

three

Chronic hypertrophic rhinitis

From the perspective of chronic simple rhinitis, it is due to long-term chronic inflammation and congestion, which leads to nasal mucosa and turbinate hyperplasia. At this time, mucous membrane thickens, tissue elasticity decreases, and nasal ventilation ability is poor, thus endangering the physiological function of the nose. It is characterized by heavy nasal congestion, breathing with the mouth open, thick alar, sticky or purulent, and irregular forehead pain.

four

atrophic rhinitis

Mainly atrophy of nasal mucosa, periosteum and turbinate; Due to the atrophy of nasal tissue, although the nasal cavity is relatively wide, the nasal mucosa has lost its normal physiological function, and patients still feel poor ventilation due to the formation of nasal scab. Nasopharyngeal dryness, nasal congestion, nasal secretions are massive. When the dry scab is forcibly removed, there is a small amount of nosebleeds, decreased or disappeared sense of smell, foul breath, headache and dizziness.

five

Caseous rhinitis

The course is very slow. Progressive nasal congestion, purulent nasal discharge, a small amount of nosebleeds, decreased sense of smell, dizziness and headache, loss of appetite. For example, nasal examination can find cheese-like deposits, perforation of nasal septum, deformation of external nose and so on. Early X-ray films can show even and fuzzy sinuses, while late ones can show nasal cavity enlargement and bone destruction.

six

Rhinitis sicca

The goblet cells in nasal mucosa decrease or disappear, which leads to dryness of nasal mucosa, but neither nasal mucosa nor turbinate bone atrophy, and nasal secretions have no peculiar smell. Rhinitis sicca is mainly caused by a dry feeling in the nose, which is caused by the atrophy of mucous glands in the nasal cavity and pharynx and the decrease of nasal secretions. Snuff is too sticky to be spit out, sometimes with blood or scab. The nose has itching or foreign body sensation, which often causes sneezing. Patients often rub their noses and dig nose excrement to relieve symptoms.

seven

allergic rhinitis

Also known as allergic rhinitis, nasal mucosa is highly sensitive to some components in the inhaled air. Its symptoms are very similar to a cold, but it can happen many times a day; It's completely normal when it doesn't attack. The incidence of allergic rhinitis is sometimes closely related to the season. Often manifested as red eyes, itchy tears, itchy nose, runny nose is mostly clear water, purulent secretions when infected, stuffy nose and deaf ears; Sneeze; Suborbital dark circles; Breathing through the mouth, loss or disappearance of sense of smell, headache and dizziness.
