I’ve done two moves to identify whether you have rhinitis

The sudden cold air killed many people off guard. These days, there are many people who “pack chaos” in the office: continuous sneezing and runny nose lead to endless paper towels. But I took a lot of cold medicine and anti-inflammatory medicine, but the effect was not obvious. In fact, what some people get is not a “cold”, but a seasonal disease – allergic rhinitis.

Medical experts remind that allergic rhinitis is very similar to cold. About 70% of allergic rhinitis patients are easy to confuse it with cold, take wrong drugs and delay correct diagnosis and treatment. Because of the fundamental pathology, the symptoms are also different. Allergic rhinitis has four typical symptoms: nasal itching, sneezing, runny nose and nasal congestion.

Typical symptom 1: there seems to be an ant walking in the nose

I don’t know if you have scratched your nose with grass like the monkey king playing tricks on pig Bajie? The nose of patients with allergic rhinitis will feel “tickled”. People with mild nasal itch always feel as if there is an ant walking in their nose, and they can’t help rubbing their nose with their hands; Serious cases are unbearable, accompanied by itching in eyes, ears, throat, hard palate and other places, often sneezing several times or even dozens of times, and a large amount of clear water like nasal mucus will automatically flow out; Sometimes, symptoms such as anosmia, headache and tears will appear, and asthmatics will attack asthma.

Typical symptom 2: children often “make faces”

Seeing children always make faces, I can’t correct them. Don’t just think it’s bad habits. In fact, he may have allergic rhinitis.

Many children can’t describe the symptoms in detail, but because of nasal itching and stuffy discomfort, children often make “grimaces”, sometimes rub the tip of the nose upward with their palms to stop itching, and then “shrink the nose”. Over time, there will even be a horizontal line on the skin of the back of the nose.

Unlike adult allergic rhinitis, children’s cases are mainly manifested as runny nose, which is especially easy to be confused with respiratory tract infections such as colds. Parents should pay attention to observing their children in daily life. If they find early signs, they can take their children for nasal secretion smear examination.
