is in the ENT clinic of Shanghai 10th People's Hospital. Recently, about half of the patients have allergic rhinitis .

The young woman started sneezing and running nose after running at night
Recently, when Xiao Wu was running in the community at night, she smelled the strong fragrance of osmanthus. After she went back, she felt a little uncomfortable in her nose and eyes. Then she started sneezing and running a clear watery nose, so she went to the hospital for treatment.
online, many netizens also complained, "I don't like osmanthus because I'm severely allergic to me every year." "The splendid season of osmanthus, patients with allergic rhinitis really can't afford to hurt them." "Is anyone allergic to osmanthus? I feel that I can't survive this season."
Zou Wentao introduced:
Recently, the number of patients who came to the hospital for allergic rhinitis has indeed increased. About half of the patients in our otolaryngology clinic are allergic rhinitis, part of which is due to osmanthus allergic. Typical symptoms include paroxysmal sneezing, clear watery nasal congestion and itchy nasal itch, which may be accompanied by eye symptoms such as itchy eyes and tears. "
April, May, September and October of each year are the peak periods of allergic rhinitis, and are currently in the peak period. In addition to the fragrance of osmanthus, there are also some "inconspicuous" allergens that are easy to be ignored. There are many types of pollen allergens. In fact, the source of pollen that is prone to allergies in summer and autumn is usually not colorful flowers, but comes from some weeds such as artemisia , quinoa, ramweed , ragweed , etc. Their pollen is usually transmitted by the help of wind and is dry in autumn. Air is conducive to the spread of pollen and is more sensitized. In Shanghai, the majority of pollen of Agaricus genus .
In addition, there was cold air some time ago, and the temperature changed significantly. Some people with sensitive airways are prone to allergic rhinitis, or the sudden drop in temperature causes upper respiratory tract infection , allergic rhinitis caused by colds. These cannot be ignored. "
The high incidence of allergic rhinitis, expert advice →
The high incidence of allergic rhinitis, how to prevent it? Zou Wentao introduced:
first, we should avoid contact with allergens, try to avoid places with a lot of pollen and weeds, pay attention to environmental sanitation, clean the air conditioner and air purifier filter in time, and avoid contact with plush products and animal fur, etc. Wear a mask when going out, and while doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control, it can block allergens such as pollen and reduce violent fluctuations in temperature differences. After you come back, you can use irrigation agents such as normal saline to clean the nasal cavity to remove allergens from contact and reduce the inflammatory reaction. "
If allergic rhinitis has already occurred, Zou Wentao said that if there is no clear diagnosis of allergic rhinitis before, you should seek medical treatment in time and be treated under the guidance of a doctor. If allergic rhinitis has been diagnosed, when symptoms appear, you can control the onset of inflammation through nasal medication and oral medication. If you want to clarify allergens, you can go to the hospital for allergen testing and then undergo targeted treatment. For example, allergic rhinitis caused by dust mite allergic can be treated with desensitization.
still many people think " rhinitis cannot be cured, so there is no need to treat it. After symptoms appear, "support" will pass.
Zou Wentao reminds that if recurrent rhinitis is not treated and controlled, it is easy to cause asthma , sinusitis , nasal polyps , allergic conjunctivitis, causing headaches and eye swelling, and even causing infections in adjacent organs such as otitis media , pharyngitis , seriously affecting the quality of life. If the rhinitis is too neglected in the early stages of rhinitis, and when the degree worsens to a certain extent, treatment will be more difficult, and even require the help of surgical treatment.
The rhinitis we usually talk about includes allergic rhinitis and simple rhinitis. No matter which type of rhinitis, it may occur under certain causes such as air environment, colds, etc., and it is not easy to completely cure. But it should be noted that rhinitis can be completely controlled through regular treatment, and the so-called "incurable" is not that drug treatment is ineffective.
