What is the relationship between allergic rhinitis and asthma?
When asked this question, many people are puzzled: obviously, these are two different diseases, how can they be linked? In fact, you don't know that rhinitis and asthma are really closely related, especially allergic rhinitis can easily cause or accompany asthma. Therefore, the treatment of these two diseases must be carried out at the same time. Allergic rhinitis is closely related to asthma. Clinically, the incidence of rhinitis and allergic rhinitis has increased significantly in recent years, especially in spring, when the temperature difference between day and night is large, the pollen is scattered and the wind and sand are heavy, which is the high incidence season of rhinitis and allergic rhinitis. Allergic rhinitis is a common rhinitis, which is inflammation of nasal mucosa caused by allergy, mainly manifested as itchy nose, sneezing and runny nose. If not treated correctly, a considerable number of patients will eventually develop asthma, and the possibility of suffering from nasal polyps, sinusitis and secretory otitis media will be greatly increased. There is a view in the medical field that allergic rhinitis and asthma are "the same airway, the same kind of diseases", and they often coexist, just like close relatives. This is because the nasal mucosa is connected with the airway mucosa. If nasal mucosa inflammation is not controlled in time, it is easy to develop into the airway, damage the airway mucosa, cause airway inflammation, and thus cause asthma symptoms such as cough and asthma. Clinical practice has found that some patients with allergic rhinitis will be accompanied by asthma attacks, while most patients with asthma have a history of allergic rhinitis. The doctor said that allergic rhinitis and asthma should be treated at the same time. Allergic rhinitis is easily misdiagnosed like a cold. Let's start with a case: the patient is a 20-year-old boy who has been running nose and sneezing when he came to see a doctor. He said that he had taken cold medicine for a week and it didn't get better. When asked, it was allergic rhinitis. No wonder taking cold medicine has no effect. There are many cases of treating rhinitis as a cold like this, especially children. The symptoms are atypical and it is easier to be misdiagnosed. The symptoms of allergic rhinitis are similar to colds, such as itchy nose, sneezing, stuffy nose and runny nose. Sometimes even inexperienced doctors can't tell the difference. In fact, these two diseases are closely related, or they can be said to be integrated. A week after catching a cold, they usually turn into sinusitis. Doctors in hospitals often meet such parents who bring their children to see a doctor and say that their children have had a cold for a long time, so why haven't they recovered? Actually, the cold is good. I have allergic rhinitis. So how to distinguish a cold from allergic rhinitis? It is also very simple to see if there are any systemic symptoms such as fever. In addition to nasal congestion, runny nose and sneezing, colds usually have a fever. To stay away from allergic rhinitis, we should pay attention to the high incidence of rhinitis at four o'clock in spring, which may be the reason why nasal love day is set in April 1 0. The doctor reminds everyone that by taking four preventive measures, you can keep yourself away from rhinitis and keep your breath fresh at all times. First, the temperature changes greatly in spring, and it is necessary to increase or decrease clothes according to the weather changes. Second, the room is often ventilated to keep the air fresh. Third, dry bedding frequently to eliminate allergens such as mold and mites. For seasonal pollen and flying dust in spring, preventive measures should also be taken, and outdoor activities should wear masks to avoid contact with flowers, flowers and grass. Fourth, drink plenty of water to prevent dryness of nasal cavity and upper respiratory tract. The treatment of allergic rhinitis should be early diagnosis, timely treatment and active prevention. Choosing appropriate drugs to treat allergic rhinitis is the key. Fupididi loratadine tablets, mizolastine sustained-release tablets, Neptune Saliloratadine chewable tablets, Cetirizine Hydrochloride tablets of Cephalosporin, Kairuitan loratadine tablets and other drugs are commonly used in the treatment of allergic rhinitis, which has a good effect on relieving the symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
