At present, the drugs used to treat rhinitis mainly include oral medications and topical nasal sprays, whose main ingredients are nothing but antibiotics, hormones and ephedra. Long-term use of antibiotics can easily make the body resistant to drugs, thus reducing the immune function, however, the long-term use of hormones and ephedrine drugs is extremely harmful, so what kind of harm will there be?
First of all, due to the nasal drip drugs stimulate vasoconstriction, a long time to make the blood vessels in a state of contraction, blood vessel wall elasticity weakened, thinning and brittle formation, the emergence of angiosclerosis. Many patients have used nasal drops, which are also called naftazoline hydrochloride, and its effect is to make the capillaries contract and then dilate. Long-term use of nasal drops can cause the capillaries in the nose to be dilated for a long time, resulting in thickening of the nasal mucosa.
Although the nasal drip only works on the nose, but it can make the whole body capillary expansion, causing the facial capillaries to be in a state of expansion for a long time, so the face is always drunk-like flushed, you can clearly see the direction of capillaries, forming a “spider web face”. It also accelerates the blood circulation of the whole body, which makes the patient feel uncomfortable all over the body, and causes systemic symptoms such as fever, palpitations, and increased blood pressure.
Now with the development of medicine, many drugs have been found to have toxic side effects, such as nasal drops used to be cast directly to patients, because of its side effects, so now the regular hospital is not cast directly to patients, but a specialist doctor with a good dose, under the guidance of doctors for specialized treatment, do not use drugs indiscriminately. Secondly, some nasal drops can damage the cilia structure of the nasal mucosa, thus affecting the physiological function of the nasal mucosa.
Vascular constriction, then re-expansion, repeated stimulation, mucosal cilia stop moving or even necrosis, disappear, submucosal plasma exudation, the formation of edema, resulting in recurrent inflammation of the nasal cavity, tissue adhesions, aggravating the condition. Again, due to the abuse of hormones, ephedrine, antibiotics, poor blood circulation and impaired immune function, coupled with increased viral resistance, the nasal tissue is prone to malignant lesions. In addition, the abuse of hormones can cause the endocrine system to become dysfunctional, especially in women, which is even more harmful.
How should I use nasal drops correctly?
First of all, we should pay attention to the following points: 1. Choose the nasal drops according to your condition, and if a certain kind of nasal drops is not effective for several times, you should ask a specialist for examination and treatment in time to avoid delaying your condition; 2. Read the instructions carefully before using the medicine, and use the medicine according to the requirements. The nasal drops should not be used too much and too often, and should not be used for a long time, so as not to produce dependence – drug rhinitis.
It is worth noting that after getting a cold, you should drink more water and take rest. Once the symptoms recurring should be vigilant, promptly go to the hospital to confirm the diagnosis, do not take indiscriminate drops of medicine at home. Pay attention to the prevention of colds; six, is the room ventilation to good, sunny, maintain a certain humidity.
Seven, is a regular diet and living, strictly prohibit smoking, alcohol and spicy food, eat more fruit.
