How to tell the difference between rhinitis and a cold How to tell the difference between rhinitis a

It is mainly distinguished from the following four points: 1. Onset time.

Seasonal nasal allergies generally occur at a specific time in a specific season and are relatively regular, while colds have no time regularity.

2 Duration.

Nose allergies can last anywhere from a few weeks to a few months, and symptoms usually disappear after the allergen is eliminated. Colds generally last about 7-10 days.

3 Accompanying symptoms.

Nose allergies can cause itchy ears, eyes, throat, and sometimes headaches and insomnia. A cold is accompanied by fever, tiredness, lethargy, and general malaise.

4 Types of nasal discharge.

Nose allergies: Clear, thin, watery nasal discharge. The color and nature of cold nasal discharge varies from case to situation.

5 Types of sneezes.

Allergic sneezing in the nose lasts long and is intense. A cold is an occasional, brief sneeze.

Traditional Chinese medicine is commonly used in clinical practice, and one or two courses of Xinyi Nose Refreshing** have obvious effects.

Allergic rhinitis.

Difference from cold.

The main symptoms of allergic rhinitis are nasal congestion

Rhinorrhea. Sneeze.

It is often confused with a cold. The incidence of allergic rhinitis has obvious seasonality, which mostly occurs when the temperature changes significantly and the four seasons change, and it is mostly in autumn and winter. Eight-year per year

December. A large amount of pollen is scattered in the air, which makes it more likely to get sick, year after year. Although the clinical manifestations are complex and varied, the common symptoms are sneezing, watery nose and nasal congestion, so many patients treat allergic rhinitis as a cold and take it simply.

Cold medicine. **, the result delays the correct diagnosis**. In fact, there is a difference between the symptoms of a cold and allergic rhinitis. Colds are usually accompanied.

Sore throat. Cough, etc., and in severe cases, fever, headache, body aches, and even nausea and diarrhea. The typical symptom of allergic rhinitis is paroxysmal sneezing

Runny nose. Itchy nose.

Nasal congestion, some of which may be accompanied.

Itchy eyes. Wait.

Eye allergies. phenomenon. A nasal discharge test at the hospital can easily determine whether you have allergic rhinitis.

Allergic rhinitis will cause sinusitis, otitis media, if not timely

Nasal polyp. Bronchial asthma.

Wait. At present, there is no special method for allergic rhinitis, but it is necessary to pay attention to prevent allergic rhinitis when the seasons change, and pay attention to adding clothes to strengthen warmth when the temperature difference is large. The air in the room should be ventilated and kept fresh.

Patients with allergic rhinitis should be identified as much as possible.

Allergens. Reduce the chance of contact, usually reduce contact with pollen, pets, etc., and seek medical attention if you have symptoms such as runny nose and sneezing.

A cold is a respiratory infection caused by viruses or bacteria, and the main reason is that the body's own immunity is weakened, and its course of illness is short, usually 1-2 weeks. Therefore, once the course of the "cold" exceeds 2 weeks, the problem of "rhinitis" should be considered.

Colds not only affect the upper respiratory tract, but also affect the whole body, so not only sneezing and runny nose are symptoms, but also systemic symptoms such as chills, fever, weakness of limbs, myalgia, headache, sore throat, gastrointestinal discomfort, etc.

The pathogenesis is different.

Allergic disease is a chronic disease, which is an allergic reaction caused by some or some allergens from the outside world after entering the body. The common types of allergic diseases include allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, allergic bronchial asthma, allergies, gastrointestinal allergies, etc.

The cold is caused by the inflammatory reaction caused by some pathogens from the outside world entering the body, which is infectious inflammation.

The duration is different.

The duration of a cold is generally 7-10 days, and the longest is not more than two weeks; The course of allergic rhinitis varies depending on the type of rhinitis, and it is generally longer than two weeks.

3.Eye and nose symptoms are different.

The cold is manifested by mild or moderate sneezing, runny yellow nose, no eyes or ** discomfort; Allergic rhinitis is manifested by obvious sneezing, watery nasal discharge, itchy eyes, and itching.

4.Systemic symptoms vary.

Colds generally have symptoms such as fever, loss of appetite, and muscle aches; Allergic rhinitis has no systemic symptoms such as fever. Friendly reminder from Qingnado.

Symptoms of a cold include mild rhinitis.

When the cold is good, the nose is fine.

If you just have a bad nose, people often say you have rhinitis.

Rhinitis, especially acute rhinitis and colds, has a series of symptoms such as nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, and itchy nose. However, from the perspective of rhinitis, especially the symptoms of acute rhinitis and colds have many similarities, but if it is allergic rhinitis, it is mainly allergic, with nasal itching, sneezing, runny nose, and sometimes itchy eyes, and the main cause of the disease is allergies. But colds are sometimes caused by viral infections, so they are not the same, and they are not the same.

For example, allergic rhinitis is mainly anti-allergic, and decongestants should be used to reduce the symptoms of nasal congestion; If there is chronic hypertrophic rhinitis, the difference between rhinitis and cold is even greater, and the symptoms are not the same at all; Atrophic rhinitis is even different, and atrophic venereal disease can mainly cause nosebleeds, causing nasal dryness.

1)**: Allergic rhinitis is related to genetics, personal constitution, etc. Patients with allergic rhinitis mostly have specific constitutions, and the disease occurs after exposure to allergens, and common allergens are pollen, mites, animal dander, etc.

Colds mostly occur when the body's immunity is weakened, 70% and 80% are caused by viruses, and common viruses include rhinovirus, coronavirus, adenovirus, influenza and parainfluenza virus.

2) Symptoms: Both will have nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing and other symptoms, but the systemic symptoms of allergic rhinitis patients are not obvious, and the systemic symptoms of cold patients can be manifested as body aches and low-grade fever. Most patients with allergic rhinitis have symptoms of sneezing and runny nose when they wake up in the morning, but the symptoms persist after the onset of a cold.

A cold is an acute inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa caused by a viral infection, manifested by nasal congestion and nasal discharge. Acute rhinitis can be transmitted directly through infection, causing cold symptoms such as sore throat, fever, fatigue, and cough. The cold process heals in about a week.

However, a cold can develop into chronic rhinitis, which is because the long-term onset of upper respiratory tract infection causes inflammation of the sinus mucosa, and chronic rhinitis patients will cause rhinitis to aggravate as long as they have a cold.

Initial rhinitis is very similar to a cold, a cold will generally heal itself in 5-7 days, if it is nasal congestion, runny nose for more than two weeks, it is necessary to suspect whether it is rhinitis, you must go to a regular hospital for examination and diagnosis, you can no longer press the cold**, which will only delay the condition.

Colds are caused by viral infections, and the body's immune system will make a series of defensive responses when the virus invades, so it often brings some systemic symptoms, such as fever, headache, weakness in the limbs and other sensations. Rhinitis is a disease that is often autoimmune, and patients have weak systemic symptoms and rarely experience headache and weakness.

Generally, the duration of the cold is relatively short, and then rhinitis is also an allergic behavior, so usually after encountering allergens, there will be repeated ** situation, and then there will be no runny nose

Colds and rhinitis can be distinguished according to the time of occurrence, colds occur all year round, while rhinitis is usually a seasonal disease, mostly occurring in spring and autumn. The two can also be distinguished by manifesting symptoms, such as a cold accompanied by fever, body aches, etc., while rhinitis can be accompanied by nasal itching, nasal congestion, etc.

At Aviation 466 Hospital, otolaryngologists learned that many people don't know if they have a cold or rhinitis. Rhinitis is often treated as a cold. In this way, if it does not get better, it will delay the best period of rhinitis**, so how to distinguish between cold and rhinitis?

To distinguish the difference between allergy and rhinitis, you can refer to the following methods to see if it is a cold or rhinitis.

1. Allergic rhinitis is not good with ordinary anti-inflammatory or antiviral**, while colds are just the opposite.

2. The onset of many allergic rhinitis has obvious seasonality, spring and autumn are high incidence periods, and are caused by certain allergens. There is no certain seasonality in the onset of colds, but the onset is generally caused by viral and bacterial infections.

3. Patients with allergic rhinitis usually sneeze from a few to dozens in a row. People with colds also sneeze, but not dozens in a row.

4. Allergic rhinitis is chronic, reverse, and can be self-healing after a few days, with limited symptoms and generally no systemic symptoms. Colds are usually acute and usually last 7-10 days. In addition to respiratory symptoms, systemic symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, and joint pain may occur.

5. Itchy nose. The main symptom of a cold is not itching, but prolonged nasal congestion. If you suffer from allergic rhinitis, your nose and throat will be very itchy, and you can't help but rub your nose with your hands.

Patients with severe nasal itching will also have itching in the eyes, ears, throat and other places, and a loss of sense of smell.

6. Clear the nose. Runny nose usually appears at the beginning of a cold, and the amount is not very large. Allergic rhinitis is accompanied by sneezing and a large amount of nasal discharge.

7. Systemic symptoms. Since a cold is a respiratory infection caused by viruses or bacteria, it must be accompanied by some systemic symptoms, such as general weakness and muscle aches. The above systemic symptoms are usually not present during an allergic rhinitis attack.

8. The general cold cycle is 7 to 10 days, and if the nose is still blocked or runny for more than 10 days, it may be rhinitis, and it is necessary to go to a professional otolaryngology hospital in time**.

The difference between rhinitis and cold:

Clause. 1. Both colds and rhinitis have the symptoms of sneezing, but the number of sneezes caused by colds is not very much, and the sneezes caused by rhinitis will be dozens or even dozens in a row, which is to distinguish whether it is a cold or rhinitis by sneezing.

Clause. 2. Runny nose. A runny nose is usually in the early stages of a cold, and it doesn't flow a lot. Rhinitis is generally accompanied by repeated sneezing, and at the same time, there will be a large amount of clear nose, which involuntarily flows down like water.

Clause. 3. Itchy nose. First of all, the symptoms caused by a cold, the nose is not very itchy, and there are more nasal congestion.

Rhinitis, especially allergic rhinitis, will have nasal itching, like ants crawling, patients with severe nasal itching will also be accompanied by itching in the eyes, ears, throat and other places, which may cause loss of sense of smell for a long time.

Clause. Fourth, other aspects. For example, in addition to the symptoms of the nose, there are many systemic symptoms, such as general weakness and muscle aches, and rhinitis is mainly a symptom of the nose.

How to tell the difference between rhinitis and cold

Colds are often accompanied by symptoms of a swollen throat and a blocked nose. It's like rhinitis, which is generally a runny nose, and many times these two symptoms are very similar, so in daily life, how should we distinguish them? Let me give you a brief introduction to how to distinguish rhinitis from colds?

How to tell the difference between rhinitis and cold

1.In terms of symptoms, rhinitis may generally be accompanied by itchy nose, frequent nasal scratching, yawning, and then nasal blockage. A cold can be accompanied not only by nasal congestion and rhinitis, but also by sore throat, cough, fever, and body aches.

Therefore, when you find both a runny nose and a sore throat in your daily life, it must be a cold, and if it is a single occurrence, it may be rhinitis.

2.In terms of duration, some colds may be better after 3 to 7 days after taking some anti-inflammatory drugs. However, rhinitis generally lasts for a long time, and its allergens are not cleaned up in time, or if it is **, it may last for several months, so in terms of the length of time, the short one is a cold, and the long one may be rhinitis.

3.In terms of the number of sneezes, a person with allergic rhinitis will sneeze continuously, but a person like a cold may only sneeze occasionally, not as often as rhinitis sneezes. Generally speaking, if you sneeze a lot in a row, it is rhinitis.

Rhinitis is common after a cold.
