Sharing ways to relieve rhinitis symptoms (+rhinitis medication)

I thought I'd share this because I think there are a lot of people who are suffering from rhinitis these days when immunity is easily weakened.

 

What is rhinitis?

It is a disease that causes sneezing, runny nose, and stuffy nose due to an overreaction to certain antigens compared to normal people. Since it contains antigens that cause allergies, the most common allergen in Korea is house dust mites. This disease occurs due to an overreaction to these antigens such as mites and mold. The most serious symptoms are sneezing, clear runny nose, and stuffy nose. It can also cause itchiness. Unlike a cold, it is different in that it does not go away easily and can be a seasonal problem.

 

How to relieve rhinitis symptoms

Since allergic rhinitis itself is an overreaction to an antigen, the first thing to do is to prevent exposure to that antigen.

To reduce exposure to dust mites, remove fabric-based materials and remove items such as bedding. Wash with warm water above 60 degrees It's good to do it. At home Cool environment with temperature below 20 degrees and humidity below 45% By making it, you can reduce your exposure to dust mites, which cause rhinitis.

 

The most effective method to date is a topical steroid spray applied intranasally.

When it is not very severe, antihistamines are usually prescribed.

If it gets a little worse, we use topical steroid preparations.

 

Rhinitis treatments

There is a treatment method that involves administering an allergen that causes allergies (in the form of an injection or pill) and causing an immune response in the body to produce antibodies against the allergen.

While surgical treatment cannot fundamentally cure rhinitis, chronic allergic rhinitis can lead to chronic swelling of the nasal conchae, a condition called hypertrophic rhinitis. By appropriately removing these swollen turbinates, nasal conchae can be used to relieve nasal congestion.

Also, some people with rhinitis have a deviated septum, which means their nasal bone is crooked. This can worsen rhinitis symptoms and nasal congestion.

There are ways to relieve nasal congestion by adjusting it in the hospital.

Although rhinitis is difficult to treat fundamentally, if you visit the hospital regularly, you can manage it well without symptoms and become a little more comfortable.

 

Do I really need to go to the hospital?

First of all, you need to complete an appropriate allergy test at a hospital that can do allergy testing, find out which allergen you have a problem with, and receive treatment accordingly.
