Allergic rhinitis recurrence is due to misunderstanding of treatment

  At present, the treatment of allergic rhinitis is mainly based on drugs, but many people have misconceptions about allergic rhinitis.  In many people’s opinion, allergic rhinitis is just a “minor problem” that is a little painful when it strikes, but afterwards it is still the same as a healthy person, so it doesn’t matter if it is treated or not. In fact, if allergic rhinitis is not treated in time, it may induce sinusitis, nasal polyps, long-term improper treatment, but also lead to otitis media, loss of smell and even induce bronchial asthma.  2, allergic rhinitis as a cold treatment Zhong Nanshan academician through a survey found that “70% of allergic rhinitis as a cold to treat”. Some people in the spring and autumn itchy nose, sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion and other symptoms, mistaken for the seasonal dressing, improper diet triggered by “stubborn cold” or “heat typhoid”, but also afraid to go to the hospital to spend time and money, simply take their own cold medicine The result is that the course of the disease is prolonged, and eventually can be a continuous state of nasal congestion, runny nose all year round.  3, the abuse of decongestants Some patients due to long-term nasal congestion, simply apply local decongestant treatment, and the application is more arbitrary, a day cumulative up to 5-10 times. As these nasal drops usually have a strong vasodilatory rebound effect, is the most common cause of drug rhinitis, so a single course of treatment should not exceed seven days, not more than three times a day.  The actual fact is that you will find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on their own.  So how can we reduce the number of attacks? We suggest that for perennial allergic rhinitis, treatment should be continued for 1 to 3 months for each attack, and some patients even need to be treated for half a year, gradually reducing the dosage until the medication is stopped; while for seasonal allergic rhinitis, the medication should be used 2 weeks in advance, and after the season, the medication should not be stopped immediately, but continued for about two weeks. Those who are in a position to do so should receive desensitization treatment against allergens under the guidance of a doctor.
