Question 1: Three years ago, I got allergic rhinitis, I would like to ask what is a good treatment method?
Answer: There are many treatments for allergic rhinitis, and it is hard to say which one is better. For a certain individual, the key is to find an effective method that suits you and stick to it for a period of time, and then switch to another method after it fails.
Question 2: I have suffered from rhinitis for many years, and my doctor said it is a combination of both allergic and chronic. Is there a possibility of a complete cure? What should I pay attention to in terms of diet in general? What are the advantages and disadvantages of Chinese and Western medicine and what are the effective medicines?
Answer: Allergic rhinitis is essentially caused by allergies. Unless you can change your constitution, it is theoretically impossible to cure it, but it is possible to control it. Nowadays, there are many anti-allergic drugs available, from oral medications: western drugs: keratan, cetirizine, cisplatin, etc.; traditional Chinese medicine: scutellaria (also known as scutellaria granules); nasal sprays: lisdexamfetamine, norocort, nexium, co-solvadex, and so on. And there are new drugs introduced almost every year. Usually, Western medicine works well for acute attacks, and Chinese medicine is better for regulating. You can find one or a combination of several drugs that work for you, and after a period of failure, you can switch to another drug. As for diet, Western medicine is not prescriptive; of course, if you are clearly allergic to a certain food, you should naturally avoid it.
Question 3: Every spring my nose itches unbearably, and I can’t stop sneezing and clear nasal discharge. Although I take Xithromax every day, it has no effect. What is the best remedy?
Answer: Apparently, you are suffering from seasonal allergic rhinitis, the cause of which is usually related to external factors, such as pollen, to say simply, it is better to wear a mask when you go out, but of course, no one will do that. It is recommended that you: 1. the efficacy of Zithromax is generally, can be replaced with a stronger drug such as Keratan, Cetirizine, Shunerin; in addition to the use of Riflutin, Renolcort, Nesuna, Cochlear and other nasal sprays. As for which drugs are effective for you, you have to use them to know; 2. Consider desensitization treatment.
Question 4: I have had allergic rhinitis for many years, and my nose has not been clear for years, so I have to take nasal medication several times a day almost every day, which is very painful. Now I sometimes snore at night, so I wonder if I can be cured. Also, is there any side effect of “nasal drops”?
Answer: Long-term use of nasal drops will definitely have dependence. Since you are clearly suffering from allergic rhinitis, there are a lot of medications available for this purpose, so you can use them differently. In addition, I guess you have hypertrophic rhinitis, so you will snore at night. If this is the case, you should have surgery to correct it.
Question 5: Due to the dry climate in our area, there are many people suffering from allergic rhinitis, and between July and October, the ENT department of the hospital is overcrowded, but every year, it only relieves the symptoms, and there is no treatment at all. I have been suffering from allergic rhinitis since 1991, and I have taken a lot of medications for allergic rhinitis, had closed injections imported from Germany, and had laser treatment and surgery, but allergic rhinitis is still with me today. It has caused me a lot of trouble in my work and life. I hope I can find an effective solution.
Answer: My answer may disappoint you, because theoretically, there is only a cure for allergic rhinitis, not the root cause. Of course, exercise can change a person’s constitution, so you can try it. At present, there are many treatments and many drugs. The key for you is to try to find the cause of your allergic rhinitis and then avoid it; find a more effective treatment and stick with it for a period of time, and then switch to another method when it is no longer effective.
Question 6: I have been feeling itchy inside my nose since the beginning of April this year, and I have been sneezing constantly, with dozens of sneezes a day, which makes me very distressed. I hope you can help me. During this period of time, I have not had any illnesses other than the increasing itchiness in my nose. I would like to know what it is and what I should do.
Answer: This is allergic rhinitis. Anti-allergic medications such as Riflutin, Raloxet (nasal spray), Cetirizine, Scutellaria (oral), etc. are available.
Question 7: I have been suffering from allergic rhinitis for more than 10 years, and recently I have been sneezing and running my nose every morning. Do you have a good solution?
Answer: Frankly speaking, there is no ideal cure for allergic rhinitis in the medical field, but you can try to control it.
Question 8: My beloved is now 8 months pregnant and her allergic rhinitis has returned. Does it have any effect on the fetus? Will it be passed on to the baby?
Answer: If systemic medication (e.g. paracetamol, Xylazine, etc.) is used, it may have an effect on the fetus. Topical medications, such as Riflutin and Nesuna, are relatively safer (but you should still check the instructions to see if they are prohibited for pregnant women before using them).
Question 9: I used to get a lot of snorts when there was a big change in temperature, and since last year, I also have a runny nose.
Answer: This is vasomotor rhinitis, the reason is allergy to hot and cold changes, don’t pay too much attention to it, most people have this situation when the temperature difference is too big, it can also be said that the nose is a protective reaction to temperature changes, if the reaction is too much, use some anti-allergy nasal spray or oral medicine. If the reaction is too much, you can use some anti-allergy nasal spray or oral medication, such as Rifting (nasal spray), Keratan (oral).
Question 10: Hi, my friend has allergic rhinitis and I don’t know how to treat it. Also, he sneezes more than normal (for example, 7 or 8 at once), so I wonder if this is a symptom of rhinitis and how to treat it.
Answer: Sneezing a lot every time is one of the symptoms of allergic rhinitis, which can only be controlled but not cured. There are many medications for allergic rhinitis, and each person’s reaction is different. It is recommended to spray the nose with Reynocort nasal spray, and for oral medication, Western medicine can be used as Keratan, and Chinese medicine can be used as Scutellaria Punch.
Question 11: After my wife gave birth, she sneezes and blows her nose every morning. It is most prevalent in spring and summer every year and is very sad. Can you tell me what medication or surgery is available to cure it?
Answer: It seems to be allergic rhinitis. If it is, it can be controlled by medication, such as nasal spray with Riflatin spray, oral Karetan, or in winter, Scutellaria flush.
Question 12: I went to the doctor in October 1995 for a recurrent cough. I had allergic rhinitis before, so I had a hard time after asthma. Since I used beclomethasone spray (nasal, at half the recommended dose) last year, my asthma has improved somewhat. However, I am always worried about the side effects of the hormone medication, and the price of the medication is a bit unaffordable. I have used desensitization treatment for a course of treatment without any effect.
Answer: Your question is a bit difficult for me, because at present, beclomethasone propionate does work better for allergic rhinitis with asthma, but it is really expensive, and there is a nasal spray called Berkner, which also has this ingredient. I think you can do this, when the symptoms are heavy, you still have to use this drug, in general, you can use other anti-allergic drugs, such as Rifting nasal spray, or even just use oral medication or stick to it for a while without medication, several drugs are used in exchange, the side effects will be smaller.
Question 13: I am 26 years old and I have been suffering from allergic rhinitis since I was young. It is said that injections may not be effective, so I would like to improve my resistance and symptoms by daily massage and washing my nose with cold water, etc. I wonder if this is feasible.
Answer: Stick to it, I have heard of this method, some people report that it is not bad, it is better than the passive use of drugs.
