1. Steam treatment of rhinitis

Steam treatment for rhinitis is a very effective method. People who suffer from allergic rhinitis, chronic pharyngitis, and bronchitis may wish to give this a try: use a small-mouthed teacup, fill it with half a cup of hot water, place it under the nose, inhale the steam, control the depth of inhalation according to the temperature, and inhale as deeply as possible. Each time lasts 15-30 minutes, 3 times a day. Practice has proved that steam inhalation is effective for allergic rhinitis, it is ineffective in the short term for chronic rhinitis, and will gradually improve with long-term persistence!

Oral-nasal inhalation is more likely to cause rhinitis due to acute or chronic nasal mucosal infection such as viruses or bacteria, or damage caused by irritants. Rhinitis causes excess mucus production, usually resulting in symptoms such as a runny nose and nasal congestion. Rhinitis not only affects the nose, but also the throat and eyes. It can also affect a person's sleep quality, hearing, and learning ability. The symptoms of rhinitis are caused by excessive histamine. The most common cause of elevated histamine levels is airborne allergens, which infect the nose, throat, and eyes and cause fluid secretions in these areas.

3. About rhinitis

1. Inflammation of the nasal mucosa and submucosal tissue due to acute or chronic infection of the nasal mucosa such as viruses or bacteria, or damage caused by irritants. It manifests as congestion or edema, and patients often experience symptoms such as nasal congestion, clear runny nose, nasal itching, throat discomfort, and cough. The thin liquid-like substance secreted from the nasal cavity is called snot or nasal secretions, which helps remove dust and bacteria to keep the lungs healthy. Normally, nasal mucus mixed with bacteria and dust is sucked into the throat and eventually enters the stomach. Because the amount of secretion is very small, it generally does not attract people's attention. When inflammation occurs in the nose, a large amount of nasal mucus can be secreted in the nasal cavity, and it can turn yellow due to the infection. It can cause coughing when flowing through the throat. When the amount of nasal mucus is very large, it can also flow out through the anterior nostril.

2. Classification of rhinitis: There are many symptoms of rhinitis. Depending on the type of rhinitis, the symptoms of rhinitis are also different. They can be roughly divided into the following types: 1. Acute rhinitis; 2. Chronic rhinitis; 3. Allergic rhinitis; 4. Chronic hypertrophic rhinitis; 5. Dry rhinitis; 6. Atrophic rhinitis, etc.
