  Allergic rhinitis is a clinically common disease. The damage caused by allergic rhinitis to patients is a serious impact on everyone’s normal life and work. If the disease does not occur Getting timely treatment can also cause some complications, so what are the complications of allergic rhinitis?

  Asthma

  This is a person with allergic rhinitis during the illness A common concomitant symptom, most patients with asthma are caused by allergic rhinitis. The main symptoms of these patients after the illness are cough, wheezing, and chest tightness. Allergic rhinitis is often cured after a long period of time. Therefore, finding the symptoms of allergic rhinitis, the first diagnosis and treatment is the key to preventing asthma!

  Allergic rhinosinusitis

  Because Sinus mucosa edema, leading to obstruction of nasal congestion drainage and negative pressure in the sinus cavity. At this time, patients with allergic rhinitis often have headaches. If accompanied by infection, allergic rhinosinusitis may occur.

  Allergic pharyngitis

  This is also a common concomitant symptom of allergic rhinitis. The main symptoms after the disease are itchy throat, cough, or mild hoarseness, severe People may find that edema of the vocal cord mucosa causes difficulty breathing.

  Nasal polyps

   Repeated nasal mucosal hyperemia and edema cause nasal polyps to form, and obstruction of the nasal cavity causes ventilation disorders.

  Allergic otitis media

  Allergic rhinitis found that the main reason for this symptom is that the nasal mucosa of the swelling or edema is connected to the mucosa of the eustachian tube to cause the same lesion. When swelling and edema of the eustachian membrane mucosa are achieved, so that the eustachian tube mucosa can also be to a certain extent, it can lead to blockage of the eustachian tube, fluid accumulation in the middle ear cavity, and discovery of acoustic deafness, which is allergic otitis media. This disease does not purify, so it will not cause perforation of the tympanic membrane and pus in the ear. Its sensitizer is consistent with allergic rhinitis.

  Difficult olfaction

  Nose mucosal edema or nasal cavity infection damages the olfactory nerve. This is also a common complication of allergic rhinitis.

  Allergic sinusitis

  Allergic sinusitis is caused by swelling or edema of the nasal mucosa blocking the opening of the sinuses in the middle and upper nasal passages. Almost all patients with allergic rhinitis have different degrees of allergic sinusitis, and the affected sinus is often bilateral and total sinus. In addition, children with allergic rhinitis because of long-term nasal obstruction and frequent use of mouth breathing can cause dysplasia of the maxilla, the zygomatic arch is not easy to find, and the face looks dumb. Children suffering from nasal obstruction often use their hands to push up the tip of the nose, forming a horizontal wrinkle on the back of the nose, called allergic nasal wrinkle.

  Tricks for treating rhinitis with traditional Chinese medicine

  Rhinitis is not a big disease, but it will cause great trouble and embarrassment to people. Chinese medicine treatment of rhinitis still starts with Fuzheng Guben, and then pay more attention to diet, because the role of food in shaping the body is very obvious. Here, I mainly recommend everyone Xinyi and Astragalus.

   recommends Astragalus because it is effective in treating nasal diseases. "Ben Cao Qiu Zhen" said Xin Yihua "Xin Wen air floats, specializes in the lungs, dissolves wind and heat. Treatment of wind and heat transfers the brain, nasal turbidity, wind chills in the brain with stuffy nose headache and dizzy toothache, Jiuqiao is unfavorable Wait." Because it is spicy and warm, the fragrance can go up to the head and face, so it is good for the nose. "Compendium of Materia Medica" said that Xin Yihua "good at treating nasal convulsions, nasal sores and post-acne nasal sores." According to the research results of modern pharmacology, the volatile oil in Xinyihua can contract the blood vessels of the nasal mucosa, which is equivalent to ephedrine. Applying Xinyihua preparation to the nasal mucosa can produce a layer of coagulum and reduce secretions and exudates. And the laboratory has proved that the effectiveness of Xinyihua extract oil in the treatment of hypertrophic rhinitis is as high as 92%.

   And Astragalus is a well-known qi-invigorating product. It supplements qi and is relatively mild, but the effect is not bad at all. It can "make up the deficiency of the five internal organs, relieve the yin and fire, and remove the heat from the lungs", and is especially good at treating qi deficiency. Therefore, we can use the effect of astragalus tonic lung and qi-reinforcing table to solve the problem of deficiency of lung qi.
