Is allergic rhinitis serious?

Every time the seasons change, many people will experience nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing. When they go to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor will tell them that it is caused by allergic rhinitis. But is this allergic rhinitis serious? Most people don't quite understand this issue. In fact, allergic rhinitis is quite serious and difficult to cure. Therefore, when people experience the following symptoms, they must seek medical attention in time to avoid missing the best time for treatment.

1. Nasal congestion: Nasal congestion is another early manifestation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Most cases present with unilateral nasal congestion. As nasopharyngeal tumors enlarge, bilateral nasal obstruction may occur.

2. Tinnitus and hearing loss: Tinnitus, stuffy ears and hearing loss are also early signs of nasopharyngeal cancer. This symptom is caused by the nasopharyngeal carcinoma neoplasm blocking the Eustachian tube opening on the affected side. Hearing loss may also be caused by further deterioration of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and damage to the auditory nerve. Tinnitus and hearing loss are often misdiagnosed as otitis media or other diseases, leading to delayed treatment.

3 Headache: When nasopharyngeal carcinoma is first diagnosed, about 70% of patients have headache symptoms. The headache symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma often manifest as migraine, pain in the occipital area or neck. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma headaches are mostly related to cancer tissue invading the bones, nerves and blood vessels at the skull base.

4. Swollen lymph nodes in the neck: Many nasopharyngeal cancer patients often seek medical treatment because they accidentally touch a "lump" on their neck. This "lump" is actually an enlarged lymph node. The swollen lymph nodes in the neck of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma are often misdiagnosed as inflammation. For neck lumps that do not shrink after anti-inflammatory treatment, or even continue to grow rapidly, especially those that are hard in texture, have poor mobility, or are multiple fused together, you need to see a doctor promptly.

Rhinitis is a chronic disease, including chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, atrophic rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, nasal polyps, etc. Many people think that rhinitis is a minor illness, but if it is ignored, it can still lead to death. If you want to cure rhinitis, you must first have confidence that rhinitis can be cured. Don't believe many people who say that rhinitis cannot be cured. This is the prerequisite for curing rhinitis. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is very effective, but whether it is taken internally or externally, it must be pure Chinese medicine and taken according to the doctor's instructions. Traditional Chinese medicine is slow and requires patient treatment. There is also the mentality towards rhinitis. Haste makes waste in treating rhinitis. Sometimes, your mental fear and burden of rhinitis are more harmful than the rhinitis itself.
