Allergic rhinitis cannot be completely cured at this time, but can only relieve the symptoms. Therefore there is no nemesis for allergic rhinitis, and symptoms are usually relieved by symptomatic treatment.
Dust mites, hair and pollen can be allergens. Allergic rhinitis also has a genetic component. Allergic rhinitis cannot be cured, only treated symptomatically.
The most important treatment for allergic rhinitis is to stay away from allergens. Oral antihistamines such as cetirizine can be taken when there are allergic symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose and eye itching.
Cetirizine is contraindicated if the patient has severe liver or kidney impairment. Antihistamine nasal sprays such as levocabastine can also be used to relieve symptoms quickly. However, it is contraindicated in patients with renal impairment.
When nasal congestion is severe and affects respiratory function, it can be treated with decongestants, such as phenylpropanolamine, which is contraindicated in patients with cardiovascular disease and hypertension.
Anticholinergics such as ipratropium bromide are also used in cases of severe runny nose. Before use, it is necessary to ask if there are any drug allergies.
Specific treatment should be standardized after examination by a specialist, do not self-medicate.
