Rhinitis refers to inflammation of nasal mucosa and submucosa. It is characterized by congestion or edema, and patients often have symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, itchy nose, sore throat and cough.

Clinically, it is often divided into lung and spleen deficiency type and qi stagnation and blood stasis type according to symptoms.

Deficiency of lung and spleen qi

Main symptoms: nasal congestion is mild or heavy, nasal discharge is thin, cold is aggravated, sense of smell is reduced, headache and dizziness. The examination showed swollen nose and pale color. Lung-qi deficiency is accompanied by cough, scanty phlegm, pale complexion, pale tongue with white fur and slow pulse. Deficiency of spleen-qi, anorexia and fatigue, pale tongue, white or thick coating, and slow pulse. Qi stagnation and blood stasis type

Main symptoms: prolonged nasal congestion, excessive nasal discharge, sticky yellow or white, dull sense of smell, swollen nose and mulberry-like appearance. Cough, excessive phlegm, heavy voice, red and dark tongue, ecchymosis, thin or astringent pulse.

The manifestations of rhinitis are varied. From the pathological changes of nasal mucosa, there are chronic simple rhinitis, chronic hypertrophic rhinitis, caseous rhinitis and atrophic rhinitis. Judging from the duration of acute remission, it can be divided into acute rhinitis and chronic rhinitis. In addition, there are some rhinitis, although the onset is slow and the course of disease is long, but there are specific pathogenic reasons, so there are specific names, such as allergic rhinitis (ie allergic rhinitis) and drug-induced rhinitis.

In addition to symptoms such as nasal congestion and sneezing, rhinitis will be more harmful if it is not treated, such as nasal congestion, dyspnea and sleep apnea syndrome; When patients arrive in turbinate hypertrophy, they lack oxygen during sleep, which can seriously cause cerebral infarction and sudden heart attack. Some patients even have sudden death; About 90% of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is caused by chronic rhinitis. Therefore, patients with rhinitis should take treatment measures when the symptoms are mild, so as not to delay the best treatment opportunity. Patients with rhinitis, due to lack of ventilation, or because they always secrete nasal mucus, will form personality defects after a long time. Because of the constant runny nose, the patient consciously refused to talk, and after a long time, he formed an introverted personality and slurred speech. Because a runny nose will inevitably lead to embarrassment, patients suppress themselves in order to avoid this embarrassment. Rhinitis is really harmful. Long-term rhinitis definitely has a negative impact on intelligence.

Chinese medicine is generally called sniffling, sneezing or sniffling. Snuff is clear, sneezing is a chronic nasal disease, which is characterized by itchy nose, mild nasal congestion, or alternate blockage of bilateral nostrils, repeated attacks, persistent healing, and even loss of sense of smell.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that rhinitis is mostly caused by dysfunction of zang-fu organs, coupled with exogenous cold and invasion of nasal orifices by pathogenic factors. This disease often lingers and is difficult to cure. One is lack of positive energy and aversion to love, and the other is persistent exogenous evil, which leads to fire burning body fluids and phlegm blocking the nose.

The nose causes symptoms other than the lungs. Dr. Fu believes that treating the nose should start with treating the lungs. Through this treatment, Dr. Fu has successfully cured thousands of patients with various rhinitis.

Dr. Fu warned patients with rhinitis that they should pay attention to reducing the stimulation of cold air on nasal mucosa and wear masks when appropriate.
