In recent days, whether you walk in the streets and alleys or walk in the scenic area, you can smell the refreshing fragrance of osmanthus flowers everywhere. But during the most "scent" season of the year in Hangzhou, some people are deeply troubled. A 7-year-old girl in Hangzhou is one of them. After enjoying the osmanthus and smelling the fragrance, she inexplicably "caught a cold". She sneezes and runny tears and her eyes are congested and she feels very uncomfortable.
Sneeze runny nose was actually "smoked" by cinnamon scent
"This cold is a bit strange. I took the cold powder for two days but it didn't improve. I sneezing became more and more severe. I was recommended to come to the otolaryngology clinic..." Dong Feilin, assistant director of the otolaryngology department and deputy chief physician of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital, came to the expert clinic of Dong Feilin. The father frowned, describing the onset of his daughter while taking a tissue to wipe her nose. The little girl's nose wings were peeling due to frequent smearing.
Director Dong Feilin learned that the little girl not only sneezes frequently, but also had a lot of clear nasal congestion and itchy nose, but also showed signs of itchy and congestion in the eyes. After physical examination, it was found that the mucosa of the nasal turbinate on both sides was significantly pale and edema, and the nasal passages were filled with water-like secretions. "Typical allergic rhinitis (allergic rhinitis), so taking cold medicine will definitely not work well, so you need to do an allergen test." The allergen test report shows that the little girl is allergic to dust mites and plants, especially the allergen index of plants exceeds dozens of times.

"A few days ago we took our children to an autumn outing to enjoy the osmanthus." The child's father recalled that the first time the children saw so many osmanthus trees, and were in the strong fragrance and loved it very much. Before leaving, they picked up a lot of osmanthus falling from the ground, took it home and put it on the bedside as an aromatherapy, and the room was filled with fragrance. But soon the children sneeze and shed tears. At most, they sneeze more than 10 consecutive times, which became more and more serious. "I really gained knowledge. It turns out that the culprit is this fragrant osmanthus!"
Director Dong Feilin prescribed the corresponding anti-allergic drug for the child and ordered him to take good protection. It is best to stay away from osmanthus and other flowers and plants in the near future.
related studies have found that osmanthus pollen does not cause allergies, but the rich aroma of osmanthus can induce allergic reactions in some patients with allergic constitution (such as allergic rhinitis attacks). The doctor reminds that the fragrance will last for a while. For those with allergic constitutions who are prone to cinnamon fragrance to cause (smoked) disease, it is wise to avoid it.
In autumn, the number of patients with allergic rhinitis increased
, the hospital's otolaryngology department, Su Lizhong, director of the hospital's otolaryngology department, introduced that the number of patients with allergic rhinitis who have been in outpatient clinics has increased significantly compared with the summer, and allergen examinations indicate that the proportion of plant allergens is mainly higher than before. Among them, there are patients who are "stimulated" by the strong aroma of osmanthus and induce allergic rhinitis. Every year when the fragrance of Dangui is filled with fragrance, there will be "old patients" to prepare some anti-allergic drugs in case of emergency needs.
"When the seasons change in spring and autumn, allergic reactions are particularly high, because during the seasons change, the temperature, humidity and other environments change. The allergic constitution itself is more sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment. Once stimulated, it is easy to stimulate allergic symptoms. At present, allergic rhinitis has many causes and causes, which can be prevented in daily life and can also effectively control symptoms in clinical practice."
Director Su Lizhong said that daily preventive measures include avoiding contact with allergens, keeping the indoor environment clean, removing dust mites, less contact with pets, avoiding contact with pollen, etc.; when going out, you should take personal protection, wear a mask, and wear protective glasses when necessary to avoid some pollen and dust entering the nasal cavity or eyes; if you inhale more pollen or dust, you can rinse the nasal cavity at home by yourself, which has become part of the daily care of many patients with rhinitis .
If the symptoms are serious, you should seek medical treatment in time. If long-term rhinitis is not taken seriously, it can cause complications such as chronic sinusitis , nasal polyps , adenoid hypertrophy in children and other adenoids.Currently, the first choice for clinical treatment of allergic rhinitis is nasal spray hormone. If you have severe skin and eye allergies, oral antihistamines can be used in combination. The symptoms of most patients with allergic rhinitis can be effectively controlled. Some patients with persistent rhinitis have poor effect and allergens meet, immunodesensitization treatment can be performed.
