It turns out that there are 9 symptoms of allergic rhinitis

Allergic rhinitis is a common disease in daily life, especially in the spring when flowers are in full bloom, which makes many patients with allergic rhinitis very painful. Therefore, it is particularly important to understand the symptoms of allergic rhinitis and go to a regular hospital for treatment in time.

1. Symptoms of allergic rhinitis

1. Allergic rhinitis can cause redness, itching and tearing of the eyes.

2. Itchy nose and excessive nasal discharge: The nasal discharge is clear and watery, but may become thicker due to nasal congestion or secondary infection.

3. Nasal congestion: Nasal congestion often changes with changes in body position. For example, when lying on the left side, the left nose is blocked and the right nostril is unobstructed; when lying on the right side, the right nose is blocked and the left nostril is unobstructed. Nasal itching is a characteristic manifestation of rhinitis.

4. Sneezing: Sneezing is usually sudden and violent. It is most serious in the early morning and when waking up. Older children usually have more than 5 attacks each time.

5. Children may also have gray-blue ring-shaped shadows and wrinkles under their eye sockets. This is caused by edema and venous congestion around the eye sockets, and is also a characteristic manifestation of atopic eye and nasal allergies in children.

6. Mouth breathing: When nasal congestion is severe, breathe through your mouth. When the mucus flows to the nasopharynx at night and causes repeated coughing, clear your throat.

7. Decreased or lost sense of smell: Older children may report loss of sense of smell.

8. Dizziness and headache are also common phenomena.

9. Children may develop allergic salute: Children constantly rub the front of their nose with their fingers or palms. This action is called "allergic grooming." Some children often make strange movements such as twisting their mouth, lifting their nose, holding the tip of their nose and pinching their nose because of itchy nose.

2. Causes of allergic rhinitis

1. Heredity and constitution: According to statistics, when both parents have allergies, the incidence rate is as high as 75%, and when only one parent has allergies, the incidence rate can be as high as 50%. Therefore, heredity plays a very important factor.

2. Climate and seasonal changes: There are many patients suffering from pollen allergies abroad, while in China it often occurs in autumn and winter, which is a seasonal allergy. There is also a perennial allergy that does not matter what the season is.

3. Environmental changes: The floating of pollen, the amount of dust, the temperature and humidity, and whether there are special physical and chemical odors may all induce allergies.

4. Foods with allergens: such as eggs, milk, wine, peppers, cabbage, seafood, etc., even ice cream.

5. Infection: Sometimes everything is fine, but then an upper respiratory tract infection occurs, which may be caused by viruses or bacteria, stimulating tissue cells and causing an allergic reaction.

6. Endocrine changes.

7. Psychological factors: Some special psychological factors can cause allergic phenomena and reactions in special individuals.
