What should I do if I have severe nasal congestion due to allergic rhinitis? How to treat it

It is very uncomfortable to suffer from allergic rhinitis. If you come into contact with allergens, it is easy to cause symptoms such as nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, and headache. The key to treating allergic rhinitis is to stay away from allergens. You can wear a mask if you go out.

1. First of all, if you want to avoid the onset of allergic rhinitis, you must stay away from allergens. You can avoid allergens by closing doors and windows at home, wearing a mask when going out, washing bedding frequently, removing carpets, and using anti-mite bedspreads. However, these methods are only temporary solutions and do not address the root cause.

2. Secondly, allergic rhinitis can also be treated with medication, including antihistamines and topical corticosteroids, which can relieve the patient's allergic symptoms. Many patients with allergic rhinitis rely on medication to relieve allergic symptoms when they have no choice.

3. Finally, I need to introduce to you the desensitization treatment of allergic rhinitis. This treatment method can change the course of allergic rhinitis and thus avoid the occurrence of allergic symptoms. After desensitization therapy achieves its effect, patients can stop medication to prevent the emergence of new allergens and, more importantly, prevent the occurrence of asthma. However, this method is only suitable for patients who already clearly know their allergens. Judging from the current medical situation, this method has not yet been popularized.

We now have some understanding of the treatment of allergic rhinitis, which can also help us control the disease in time after it occurs. Although there is no way to completely cure allergic rhinitis, we can reduce the number of allergic rhinitis attacks as much as possible by avoiding allergens. In addition, patients also need to strengthen physical exercise to enhance their own resistance.
