Today we will discuss how to treat rhinitis.
There are many clinical methods that can be used for reference and application. Let's be specific.
Number one? What is rhinitis?
Rhinitis is an inflammatory disease of nasal cavity, which is caused by viruses, bacteria, allergens, various physical and chemical factors and some systemic diseases. The main pathological changes of rhinitis are congestion, swelling, exudation, hyperplasia, atrophy or necrosis of nasal mucosa.
Second? Etiology of rhinitis
Virus infection. Virus infection is the main cause, or bacterial infection is secondary to virus infection. There are more than 100 kinds of viruses known to cause this disease, the most common is rhinovirus, followed by influenza and parainfluenza virus, adenovirus, coronavirus, coxsackie virus, mucus and paramyxovirus. The main mode of virus transmission is inhalation through respiratory tract, and then it enters the body through contaminated body or food. Genetic factors. People with a family history of allergic reactions are prone to this disease. Most patients' families have a history of asthma, urticaria or drug allergy. In the past, such patients were called atopic individuals, and their ability to produce IgE antibodies in vivo was higher than that of normal people. However, in recent years, studies have found that the incidence of twins is not significantly different from that of the general population.
Susceptibility of nasal mucosa. Susceptibility comes from the frequent stimulation of antigen substances, but its susceptibility depends on the number of mast cells and basophils in nasal mucosa and the ability to release chemical mediators. It has been proved that the number of these cells in nasal mucosa of patients with allergic rhinitis is not only higher than that of normal people, but also has a strong ability to release chemical mediators. Antigen substance. The antigenic substances that stimulate the body to produce IgE antibodies are called allergens. Allergens re-enter the nasal mucosa and then combine with the corresponding IgE, causing allergic reactions. Allergens causing this disease can be divided into inhalation and food according to the way they enter the human body.
The third treatment method
Nasal glucocorticoid is the first choice for chronic rhinitis, which has good anti-inflammatory effect and eventually produces decongestant effect. Can be used for a long time as required, and has good curative effect and safety. Nasal cleaning? If nasal secretions are too thick, normal saline can be used to clean the nasal cavity, remove nasal secretions and improve nasal ventilation.
Intranasal decongestant? Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride Spray can be selected for continuous use for no more than 7 days. If you need to continue to use it, you need to interrupt it for 3 ~ 5 days. Long-term application of 0.5% ~ 1% ephedrine nasal drops can damage the ciliary structure of nasal mucosa and should be avoided as far as possible. If you must use it, you should use it intermittently in a small amount. Because it has been proved that it can cause drug-induced rhinitis, Didi is prohibited. Other treatments? Including blocking therapy and acupuncture therapy, have been rarely used.
abstract
Patients with rhinitis should choose different treatments according to their own conditions. Let yourself no longer be troubled.
