The refreshing fragrance of osmanthus can be smelled everywhere in Hangzhou. This is probably the sweetest feedback autumn gives people!
At the same time, osmanthus is also a Chinese herbal medicine. "Compendium of Materia Medica" quotes the statement from " Book of Classics ", believing that osmanthus can "treat all diseases, nourish spirit, and beautify all medicines first, take them for a long time and never grow old, have a bright face, and be as charming as a boy." In autumn, various delicacies made of osmanthus are also mouth-watering: osmanthus candy, osmanthus cake, and osmanthus tea.
However, this comfort is probably not something that everyone can enjoy.
A painter's aunt loves flowers and plants after retirement
Unexpectedly, she returned from watching the flowers and went to the hospital
Aunt Wang is in her early 60s this year and has just retired. Before, she worked as a painter for the rest of her life, working in the smell of bad paint every day. Now that she is retired, she is fiddling with flowers and plants, and the sweet fragrance of flowers replaces the pungent paint smell.
After autumn begins, the osmanthus trees on the streets and alleys bloom overnight. Aunt Wang asked the old sisters to go out for the scenic spot for autumn, while enjoying the osmanthus and reminiscing about the past. But Aunt Wang, who returned from watching the flowers, showed symptoms of chest tightness and urgency, and her neck seemed to be pinched, making her breathless.
Seeing this, the family quickly sent Aunt Wang to Hangzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for treatment. After emergency treatment in the emergency department, they were transferred to the otolaryngology department. Director of the Department of Otolaryngology Chen Zhiling used laryngoscope to examine Aunt Wang's throat cavity.
According to the examination conditions and symptoms, Aunt Wang was diagnosed with " acute epiglottis ".
Director Chen explained that epiglottis is an important part of the throat. When we swallow, the epiglottis will cover the trachea like a lid to prevent food from being swallowed into the trachea by mistake. Inflammation and swelling of epiglottis will cause the airway to be closed, so that the person will not be able to pass through the air. When the condition is critical, suffocation will occur in just a few minutes.
Aunt Wang panicked after hearing this and quickly was hospitalized for treatment. Allergen tests after admission found that she was allergic to pollen, and acute epiglottis was induced by pollen allergies. Now, she is receiving desensitization treatment and a series of other symptomatic treatments.
People allergic patients have more than 100 sneezes a day
The fragrance of flowers in the city can’t hide it
Ms. Lin is also an allergic patient who is deeply troubled by pollen. The fragrance of osmanthus flowers in the city can’t hide it. While she tried to minimize going out and insisted on wearing a mask outdoors, she sneezes more than 100 times a day.
She said that the most painful seasons every spring and autumn are the most painful. No matter how much protection is, they are not in place, coughing and sneezing constantly, and rhinitis and also often occur. This year she couldn't bear it anymore and came to the ENT Department of Hangzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for desensitization treatment, hoping to smell the sweet fragrance of osmanthus as everyone else as soon as possible.
Doctors recommend that patients with allergic constitution should undergo an allergen test in advance, detect allergens in time, and perform desensitization treatment. If there are multiple allergens, anti-IgE treatment can be considered.
Director Chen introduced that after the beginning of autumn, the number of patients with ENT diseases caused by allergies increased significantly, 2 to 3 times that of normal. Patients with pollen allergies are usually regular customers in the hospital. There are several aunts who will report to the hospital on time every year as soon as the time comes.
For example, Aunt Zhang doesn’t have the feeling of a runny nose or sneezing, but every year when the osmanthus flowers bloom, she likes to run to the hospital and just follow what she says: “I’m the 'weather forecast’. I came to the hospital, and the osmanthus flowers bloom in autumn.” Aunt Li also learned to make osmanthus tea with online videos, thinking of beautifying and nourishing the skin, but she grew rash on her face and her nose was blocked very much.
What is the allergic constitution? What should I do if I am prone to allergic?
Some people experience allergic reactions while enjoying flowers or eating osmanthus food, sneezing, runny nose, congestion and itching of eyes. In severe cases, it can also induce symptoms such as allergic asthma, , dyspnea, etc. These people are what we often call "allergic constitution", and they are prone to allergies to various pollen.
Director Chen suggested that if allergies occur, first of allergies, you should go to the hospital for an allergen test to find out whether it is an allergic reaction caused by contact, intake or inhaled allergens.
inhalation group: house dust mites , dust mites , cat epithelium, dog epithelium, house dust , cockroach, leptospora, willow, ordinary ragweed , mugwort .
Ingestion group: peanuts, soybeans, milk, crabs, shrimps, eggs, beef, cod , wheat flour, mutton, etc.
Secondly, after confirming the allergen, you must avoid contact with allergen. If patients with pollen allergies must go to see the flowers, they must wear a mask when going out. If necessary, prepare anti-allergic drugs for emergencies.
Finally, you should eat more light diets, such as noodles, porridge, etc., and eat less or not spicy and irritating foods, such as chili peppers, peppers, etc., to prevent irritation and aggravate allergic reactions.
In addition, you should also pay attention to strengthening exercise, such as running, playing ball, skipping rope , etc., which can play a certain anti-allergic effect.
