How to check for pale edema of the nasal mucosa caused by allergic rhinitis?

Pale edema of the nasal mucosa is one of the common symptoms of allergic rhinitis. Allergic rhinitis (allergicrhintis), also known as allergic rhinitis, is an allergic disease of the nasal mucosa and can cause a variety of complications.

Allergic rhinitis is a multifactorial disease induced by the interaction of genes and the environment. Risk factors for allergic rhinitis may be present in all age groups.

Clinical examination: 1. Signs Pale nasal mucosa, bilateral inferior turbinate edema, clear or mucus discharge visible in the common nasal tract and nasal floor.

2. Skin prick test Using standardized allergen reagents, prick the skin on the palmar side of the forearm and observe the results after 20 minutes. Positive and negative controls should be performed for each test, with histamine used for the positive control and allergen lysis medium used for the negative control. The results should be determined according to the corresponding standardized allergen reagent instructions. The skin prick test should be performed at least 7 days after discontinuation of antihistamines.

3. Serum-specific IgE test The patient’s venous blood is drawn for immunological testing, independent of the drug and skin condition. The diagnosis of allergens in allergic rhinitis requires a combination of clinical presentation history, skin prick test, and serum specific IgE test results.

4, nasal excitation test is the gold standard for the diagnosis of allergic rhinitis, but has risks and is not used as a routine clinical method.
