If the daily temperature difference is severe, a runny nose may appear.
Are the symptoms a simple runny nose?
Or is it allergic rhinitis?
How to find out when you are confused and how to treat symptoms
Let’s try to summarize.
Nasal cold vs allergic rhinitis
Allergic rhinitis note
When worrying about two symptoms, first take a look at what your symptoms are.
It’s important
A runny nose causes sticky, yellow mucus
Sore throat at the same time, accompanied by cough fever
Cold symptoms occur together.
On the other hand, in case of allergic rhinitis
Clear runny nose, sneezing, itching, nasal congestion
Occurs when these symptoms persist for more than 1 hour per day
It looks like allergic rhinitis.
Why does it get worse when the seasons change?
From the hot summer to the sudden chilly fall
From cold winter to suddenly warm spring
During the change of seasons when the temperature changes rapidly and the air becomes dry
You are more likely to develop allergic rhinitis.
As usual, allergic reactions do not occur.
The nasal mucosa becomes sensitive to weak antigens, resulting in symptoms of rhinitis.
It causes sneezing or itching.
Allergic Rhinitis Hereditary?
If both parents have allergies, there is an 80% chance
If only one of the parents is allergic, there is a 60% chance
Allergies are said to be inherited.
As allergies are inherited in a fairly high proportion,
When the season changes, the whole family sneezes together
Simultaneous itching and nasal congestion
Sometimes it does happen.
However, in the academic world these days, not only this genetic background
If the environmental hygiene hypothesis is put forward, various environmental factors
It is emphasized that allergic rhinitis may occur.
Residential facilities such as apartments, fast food, and many additives
In the increasingly Westernized lifestyle, such as diet,
Environmental and sanitary conditions have changed, and allergic diseases have become more common.
It is said that there is an academic study.
How to prevent allergic rhinitis
If you are not allergic yet
It’s just to avoid infection
I’d say it’s not a good way.
If you are not too exposed to infection, rather later
It is said that allergies may occur.
(Not when I was young, but when I was a teenager
It is said that it can occur late in adulthood)
But if you already have an allergy
source
Seasonal allergies (pollen, weeds, etc.) refrain from going out
When going out, wear a mask to prevent inhalation
It is recommended to minimize it.
Perennial allergies (house dust, mites, etc.)
The temperature is maintained between 20 and 24 degrees and the humidity is between 40 and 50%.
You need to create a good environment to avoid dust or mites.
