Only friends who have experienced rhinitis can deeply understand it. There are many patients with rhinitis in today's society, some of whom are relatively mild and difficult to detect, some of whom are allergic to certain odors and cannot tolerate them, and some of whom are allergic to food. Eating the wrong food can cause discomfort in the nose. How should we deal with rhinitis caused by food allergies? Let's take a look together below.
How to treat rhinitis and food allergies
Dietary therapy method:
Eat foods containing vitamin C and vitamin A: spinach, Chinese cabbage, bok choy, white radish, etc.
Honey: Honey contains trace amounts of bee venom. Bee venom is a toxic liquid in the body of bees, but it is clinically used for the treatment of allergic diseases such as bronchial asthma. Honey contains a certain amount of pollen grains, and drinking it regularly can develop some resistance to pollen allergies.
Eel and Pork Kidney Soup: 250g of eels (sliced), 100g of pork kidneys, cooked together, seasoned and consumed.
Congee with Cuscuta and Asarum: 15g Cuscuta, 5g Asarum, 100g japonica rice, and some white sugar. Wash the dodder seeds, mash them and fry the asarum to remove the dregs to get the juice, add rice to cook Congee, and add sugar when Congee is cooked.
Allergy Health Tea: 15 grams each of Huangqi and Baihe, 10 grams of Danpi, 9 grams each of Xinyi and Ginger, 6 grams each of Wumei, Huangqin, and Raw Licorice, and 4 jujubes. Wash the above 9 herbs (wrapped in gauze), put them in a sand pot, soak them in an appropriate amount of water for half an hour, bring to a boil on high heat, then reduce the heat to low and boil for 20 minutes. Fry twice in a row, mix the first and second decoction juices well, and it's ready to serve. Take one dose daily and replace tea with medicinal juice. It is suitable for patients with allergic rhinitis who have unstable body and heat accumulation in the lung meridian.
Symptoms of allergic rhinitis
1. Nasal itching: It is the main initial symptom of this disease. In addition to nasal itching, itching can also occur in the throat, eyes, ears, trachea, and other areas.
2. Nasal bleeding: A small amount of nosebleeds or bloody mucus often flows out after spraying.
3. Decreased sense of smell: The decrease in sense of smell is more significant during attacks, and the sense of smell often returns to normal during intermissions. But if there are nasal polyps and polypoid changes in the middle turbinate at the same time, the decrease in smell can be persistent.
4. Sneak: It is a symptom that occurs after nasal itching, which may be caused by histamine stimulation of nerve reflexes. It can be sprayed several times or dozens at a time.
5. Flowing nasal discharge: It is often a rapid and large amount of clear water like nasal discharge, sometimes a mucous nasal discharge, which is the secretion of fluid by mucous glands and goblet cells with overactive functions.
That's all for the introduction of foods for allergic rhinitis. When it comes to preventing rhinitis, one should always be careful because a little carelessness can cause discomfort in the nose, especially for chronic rhinitis which requires more time for treatment. This requires patients to have good self-control and avoid doing things that are forbidden or touched, as these are all helpful practices for the recovery of the condition.
