What are the misconceptions about allergic rhinitis treatment?

  Allergic rhinitis, also known as allergic rhinitis, is a type I hypersensitivity reaction in which the body is hypersensitive to certain substances and the nasal mucosa is the main lesion. There are two clinical types: perennial attacks and seasonal attacks. In Chinese medicine, the disease is called congested nose. Many people do not know enough about it, and there are some inappropriate places in the treatment and delay the disease.  Several misconceptions in the treatment: 1, that allergic rhinitis is not easy to cure and not actively treated, so that the development of the disease and the emergence of various complications, really become intractable diseases.  2, only focus on the treatment of the attack period without paying attention to the usual prevention; treatment is not complete, not standardized, the symptoms slightly improved to stop the drug, can not adhere to the treatment, once the disease relapses in the period of high confidence is not willing to continue treatment.  3, arbitrary choice of nasal spray, nasal drops, abuse of intranasal decongestants, increasing the likelihood of drug rhinitis; blind refusal, fear of using intranasal corticosteroids.  Intranasal corticosteroids have anti-allergic reactions and anti-inflammatory effects, which can reduce nasal hyperreactivity and relieve the symptoms of allergic reactions more quickly. Some studies have shown that: local medication, with little side effects, will not bring about an impact on the growth and development of human bones, will not increase the risk of cataracts, and will not significantly increase the intraocular pressure, but if used excessively for a long time can cause dryness of the nasal mucosa or rhinorrhea.  4, wrong use of antibiotics without paying attention to or recognizing the use of anti-allergy drugs.  5.Enthusiastic about laser, microwave and other surgical treatments, even though the ventilation function of the nasal cavity has been temporarily improved, but do not recognize that these treatments cannot remove the cause and essence of nasal allergy and cannot treat allergic rhinitis at the root.  6.Not paying attention to the daily diet, living and living, not paying attention to try to avoid allergens that may cause allergy.  7.When nasal congestion, sneezing, nasal itching, runny nose and cough and asthma appear at the same time, only one aspect of treatment is focused on, but not the simultaneous treatment.  These points are especially proposed here to remind patients that allergic rhinitis is not incurable, most patients can be effectively controlled after systematic and standardized treatment, which requires a process and cannot be achieved overnight.
