Guidelines for the treatment of allergic rhinitis

  If you repeatedly have cold-like symptoms, such as itchy nose, sneezing, runny nose and nasal congestion, then you may have allergic rhinitis. For you how to treat, there are the following suggestions: Patients usually need to perform allergen tests to clarify which allergens are caused by, and the number of attacks can be reduced by paying attention to avoidance in life. For patients with mild allergic rhinitis, topical nasal spray with glucocorticoids or oral antihistamines are recommended to relieve the symptoms of rhinitis; for patients with moderate to severe allergic rhinitis, in addition to topical spray with glucocorticoids or oral antihistamines, desensitization therapy can also be performed. If desensitization therapy is not satisfactory, we can consider minimally invasive nasal radiofrequency therapy, which can reduce excitability by blocking sensitive nerves, thus achieving the purpose of treatment.  In addition, patients with allergic rhinitis can also undergo “winter and summer treatment”, a characteristic treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, which can adjust the function of the internal organs and enhance the immunity of the body through the application of medication points, so that the condition can be improved. Our department has been carrying out this treatment for more than ten years, with experience formula and remarkable clinical efficacy.  According to statistics, 80% of asthma patients suffer from allergic rhinitis at the same time, and 20% to 50% of the patients with allergic rhinitis have concurrent asthma. Once there are recurrent episodes of runny nose, sneezing and nasal congestion symptoms, you should go to the regular hospital for examination and allergic rhinitis treatment as early as possible to avoid delays.
