What to do if rhinitis and nasal congestion are very serious

I believe that everyone knows about the problem of rhinitis and nasal congestion in life. This is indeed very painful, because the symptoms of rhinitis and nasal congestion are sometimes mild, but sometimes very serious, which may cause both nostrils to be unable to breathe normally. Therefore, everyone should know about the problem of rhinitis and find appropriate methods to treat it.

Notes on nasal congestion

Sometimes, nasal diseases are easily ignored by people because of their mild symptoms and little pain, because these "minor problems" do not cause much interference to people's work and life. Little do people know that some nasal diseases, especially rhinitis, can lead to serious consequences if not treated in time. During the May Day holiday this year, many student patients with rhinitis, led by their parents, went to Fuzhou Zhongshan Hospital for detailed nasal endoscopy examination and "cryoablation" treatment. It's the weekend again, and student patients once again account for more than half of the hospital's ENT outpatient visits.

A recent survey on the health status of primary and secondary school students shows that nearly 20% of students are suffering from nasal diseases. The nose is an important gateway and starting point of the human respiratory tract. Rhinitis has naturally become a very common and frequently occurring disease, and adolescent students are a high-risk group for this disease. Huang Tairui, director of the Department of Otolaryngology at Fuzhou Zhongshan Hospital, said that this is because the morphological development and physiological functions of the organs of the body are not perfect during this period.

This results in poor resistance and adaptability to the outside world, making it more likely to cause rhinitis. Students suffering from rhinitis suffer from memory loss, decreased intelligence, periodic headaches, dizziness, decreased vision, and declining academic performance as their typical symptoms.

Because the initial symptoms of rhinitis are extremely similar to those of a cold, some patients still do not take it seriously after being diagnosed with rhinitis, always thinking it is a "minor problem" of nasal congestion and runny nose. In fact, this idea is wrong.

According to the data analysis of more than 200 student patients received by Fuzhou Zhongshan Hospital during the long vacation, nearly half of them had a history of rhinitis for more than two years, and almost 90% of the patients had not undergone systematic ENT examination. When describing their symptoms to doctors, most of them were limited to vague symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny nose, and they did not have proper understanding of rhinitis.

Another set of data also fully demonstrates the harm caused by ignoring rhinitis: almost 100% of patients are caused by colds or allergic rhinitis, and 30% of patients have nasal concha hypertrophy, sinusitis and polypoid changes. What’s more serious is that if rhinitis is not cured for a long time, it will further affect the growth and development of adolescents and pose a hidden danger to their future health.
