What to do if your rhinitis flares up in the spring

Spring rhinitis flare-ups are usually seasonal allergic rhinitis, which requires avoidance of allergens and can be treated with medication or immunotherapy.
1. Avoid allergens: Pollen released by trees and other plants in spring is a common allergen, so patients can reduce going out or wear masks when going out.
2. Medication: Oral antihistamines, such as loratadine and cetirizine, work by inhibiting histamine, which helps reduce symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose and itching. Nasal steroid sprays, such as budesonide nasal spray, work by reducing swelling and mucus production in the nasal passages.
3. Immunotherapy: This reduces the ability of IgE to cause allergic reactions by altering the balance of antibody types in the body. Two types of drugs are commonly used: subcutaneous injection and sublingual administration.
Pay attention to the use of drugs, under the guidance of the doctor, to avoid self-medication, resulting in unnecessary side effects. If the rhinitis does not get better after a week, you need to seek medical attention to identify the cause and treat it.
