Special attention □ Mass Daily reporter Chen Juhui intern Dong Xiaoxuan Mass Daily correspondent Zhao Yongxin winter and spring, the climate is changing, the sudden high and low temperatures make people caught off guard, for a variety of rhinitis to provide a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation. The first lesson of the new year for many people is to fight with rhinitis. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into. The continuous sneezing made him listless, and it was even harder to find his work status. Seeing Gu’s “poor look”, everyone said he had a cold and asked him to take medicine. Professor Li Yanzhong, deputy director of the Department of Otolaryngology at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, said that colds and allergic rhinitis are easily confused. In addition to sneezing, nasal congestion and runny nose, colds are also accompanied by sore throat, fever and body aches. If the symptoms are only sneezing and runny nose, it is likely to be allergic rhinitis, not a cold. And the duration of the cold is usually 5-7 days, after which the clear nasal discharge will turn into pus yellow nasal discharge and gradually recover, while the cycle of allergic rhinitis is longer. Some cold medicines contain anti-allergic ingredients such as paracetamol, which also have the effect of inhibiting allergic rhinitis, so some patients with allergic rhinitis will think they have a cold, but this effect is only temporary, allergic rhinitis is not effectively treated, and will soon relapse. ”The change of seasons is the high incidence of allergic rhinitis. The hazy weather that resurfaced after the New Year, as well as the low immunity caused by people’s irregular life during the Spring Festival, make allergic rhinitis more prone to attacks.” Li Yanzhong said that under normal circumstances, the nose can clean up secretions by spraying or flowing out, but if atmospheric pollution and airborne particles stimulate the nasal mucosa, it will make its function worse and cannot effectively clean up harmful substances, resulting in residual nasal secretions, which can easily lead to allergic rhinitis. Li Yanzhong suggested that the elderly, immune system and allergic people should try to reduce the number of people going out on hazy days, and if they need to go out, they must wear a mask and wash their mouths and noses when they get home. When the symptoms of allergic rhinitis appear, you can regulate them by improving your diet and emotions, pay attention to a reasonable diet, avoid spicy food and alcohol, avoid staying up all night, ensure sufficient sleep, and maintain a happy mood and a calm state of mind, and take appropriate vitamin C and calcium supplements. When the symptoms are serious, you need to go to the hospital in a timely manner, and if necessary, you can check the allergens and carry out desensitization treatment. The headache does not heal without forgetting the sinusitis. Ms. Yue, who has always been in good health, has been tormented by headaches in recent months. Every afternoon, the headache starts to attack, like countless small worms gnawing at her head, making her suffer. After taking a lot of painkillers, Ms. Yue’s headache just didn’t get better until she was advised by a good friend to go to the ENT department during New Year’s Eve, only to find out that the root of the headache was in her nose, and that she was suffering from sinusitis. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time. Sinusitis can be divided into two categories, acute and chronic, and its main symptoms are dizziness, headache, heavy nasal congestion, and flow of yellow pus. “Cold is the main factor in sinusitis. The first thing that you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into. As the sinus opening is small, the sinus mucosa is connected to the nasal cavity, and the sinus openings are adjacent to each other, which is not conducive to the drainage of inflammatory substances, which carry bacteria into the sinuses and are easily retained and multiplied, so that the sinuses are infected with each other and repeatedly develop. The mucous membrane of the sinuses of patients with chronic sinusitis has become infiltrated with lymphocytes and plasma cells and epithelial cilia, and sinusitis can occur with the onset of a cold. How to identify the headache caused by sinusitis? Li Yanzhong said, sinusitis headache is often accompanied by nasal symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose and loss of smell, and the headache is very regular in time. For example, acute frontal sinusitis, generally in the morning, the symptoms are relieved at noon, and then in the afternoon, and so on day after day. In the case of maxillary sinusitis, the pain is usually not in the morning, but starts at noon or in the afternoon. In addition, after rest, nasal drops, nasal ventilation, the headache can be reduced, coughing, force or bending low, the headache will be aggravated, smoking, drinking alcohol, emotional excitement will also aggravate the headache. Many people “turn a blind eye” to sinusitis, but in fact, acute sinusitis is very harmful to the body. Not only does it cause otitis media, pharyngitis, tonsillitis and other symptoms, it can also lead to memory loss, and in serious cases can lead to infection of the surrounding tissues, and even blindness, meningitis, brain abscesses and other diseases. Therefore, Li Yanzhong suggested that the change of seasons must pay attention to warmth, to prevent colds, once the symptoms of sinusitis, to seek medical attention in time to prevent delays. Children snoring check nose Since the beginning of winter last year after a heavy cold, 5-year-old Lele always snore when sleeping, open mouth gasping for air, looks very uncomfortable. Lele’s mother, Ms. Yu, at first did not care too much, she thought it was the child did not recover from the flu, after a while will naturally recover, but it has been almost 3 months, Lele’s snoring did not stop at all. The majority of children snoring is caused by tonsil hypertrophy and adenoid hypertrophy. The adenoids are at the back end of the nasal cavity, a lymphatic tissue, and when you have a cold, this lymphatic tissue will proliferate, causing hypertrophy and obstruction of the back of the nasal cavity. However, many parents mistake this condition for a simple cold and often delay treatment. In fact, this condition has many consequences. On the one hand, children with the disease always breathe through their nasal cavity, always open their mouths and breathe through their mouths, with high arches of the palate, which makes the nasal cavity less likely to develop in the long run, resulting in a deviated nasal septum, high arches of the teeth, and bared upper teeth. On the other hand, many growth hormones are only secreted during deep sleep, and some children are awakened from deep sleep due to nasal blockage, which leads to insufficient secretion of growth hormones, making children especially thin and small, and also has a negative impact on intelligence and cognitive ability. ”The actual fact is that it is easier to ignore children’s rhinitis, parents should be careful to observe the disease, early detection.” The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to breathe, and they always open their mouths to breathe; they snore, and some of them are as loud as adults, and some of them hold their breath when they sleep; the children who have rhinitis will adjust their sleep position in order to breathe more freely, and some of them will sleep on their stomachs and arch their bodies, and some of them will often turn over and stir. Some children will sleep on their stomachs or with their bodies arched, while others will often turn over and stir the covers. These children do not sleep well at night, and instead of being sleepy during the day, they are very excited, and they seem particularly hyperactive and mischievous, and they do not concentrate easily in class, and they cannot sit still. At home, they are easily irritable and often lose their temper. When you find that your child has these conditions, you must take your child to the hospital for a timely examination.”
