It's uncomfortable to breathe in cold air through the nose

The nose is like a filter for the human body, which can filter out impurities and dust in the air. When the weather turns cooler in autumn, many people will experience dry and bleeding noses, which will cause recurrence of rhinitis and even cause breathing problems. So what is the reason why it feels uncomfortable when inhaling cold air through the nose? This is because when cold air hits, the nose becomes more sensitive. At the same time, the dry environment caused by the cold air also affects the mucous membrane inside the nose, causing nasal discomfort.

What to do if your nose is uncomfortable in winter:

1. Cold air stimulation can easily cause nasal allergies

1. The demand for the nose increases in winter. The nose has a great function. It can filter dust in the air and regulate temperature and humidity. The winter climate is cold and dry, and the blood flow in the nose will accelerate, increasing secretion. The air inhaled into the human body is inhaled into the body through the warmth and moisture of the nasal cavity, preventing cold air from damaging the trachea. Therefore, the body's demand on the nose in winter is particularly high, and nasal sensitivity is particularly prone to occur.

2. Morning is the peak period of nasal allergy. After getting up in the morning, the body changes from a static state to an active state, various organs gradually wake up, and the demand for nasal function increases, so it is also the peak period of nasal allergy. Continuous sneezing in the morning is a typical symptom of allergic rhinitis.

3. Cold air irritates the nasal mucosa. In addition, there is a large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor in winter. When you walk from a heated room to outdoors, or from outdoors back to the room, the temperature and humidity change rapidly. The nose needs to change accordingly, and the nose will take the opportunity to attack. The cold air will irritate the nasal mucosa, causing discomfort.

Corresponding method

1. Stay away from allergens: People with allergies should stay away from pollen, dust, animal hair and dander and other allergens.

2. Wash your nose with cold water: In the winter mornings, you can insist on washing your nose with cold water to clean the dirt inside your nostrils, so as to enhance the nose's ability to adapt to cold air. Be careful not to make the temperature too cold, just cold will do.

3. Do some massage: After washing your face, use your fingers to gently massage both sides of the nose, and do inhalation and exhalation exercises to increase local blood circulation and enhance resistance.

4. Be careful of the wind when going out: When going out, be sure to wear a mask, scarf and other warm items to reduce the stimulation of cold air.

5. Eat less irritating food: Avoid irritating food, such as coffee, alcohol, mustard, etc. It is best to eat less to avoid damaging the gastric mucosa. Pay attention to eating more foods containing large amounts of vitamin C and vitamin B.

6. Improve indoor air quality: Pay attention to cleaning at home, do housework regularly, and wash the indoor floor to reduce the problem of nasal allergies.

2. Dry climate causes nosebleeds

1. Dry climate is the main reason. The climate is relatively dry in winter, and the environmental humidity is low. The moisture in the skin evaporates faster, and too much moisture is absorbed by the air. The skin itself becomes dry, and the nose also becomes dry and even bleeds.

2. Lack of vitamins. The climate in winter is very dry, and people generally eat more mutton, dog meat, etc., and less vegetables and fruits. This not only makes it easy to get angry, but also causes the body to lack vitamins, which in turn aggravates the dryness of the nose.

Corresponding method

1. Use a humidifier indoors: Use an indoor humidifier to improve the dryness of the environment. When the ambient humidity rises, the evaporation of moisture from the skin will slow down, and the moisture in the nose will not be lost excessively, so the dryness phenomenon can be alleviated.

2. Eat more vitamin foods: Eat more foods rich in vitamins A, B2, C, etc., such as various vegetables and fruits, animal liver, nuts, etc., which help the recovery of the nasal mucosal epithelium and improve the symptoms of dry nose. Eat less spicy and fried foods.

3. Eat some cod liver oil: Taking some cod liver oil pills or vitamin B2 in appropriate amounts can also be effective in preventing dry nasal cavity.

4. Pay attention to moisturizing the nose: Not only should you moisturize the skin, you should also pay attention to moisturizing the nose. You can use a small amount of essential oil, drink more warm water, and pay attention to the cleanliness of your nose.

5. Apply erythromycin eye ointment: For people with severe dry nose, you can use a cotton swab to dip some erythromycin eye ointment and apply it inside the nostrils. Try to apply it evenly. It can play a lubricating role and can also reduce inflammation and kill bacteria.

6. Use some oily nasal drops: such as peppermint oil, nasal ointment, etc.
