What is the connection and difference between allergic rhinitis and cold and flu?

Whether it is ordinary rhinitis or allergic rhinitis, it will be easy to cause attacks after a cold, this is because after a cold, our respiratory system will also have some inflammation to a greater or lesser extent, if there is a history of rhinitis, then it is easy to cause rhinitis, allergic rhinitis is no exception, so many people will be prone to rhinitis after a cold, which is why many experts when it comes to the prevention of rhinitis, let everyone reasonably prevent colds, so that we can help us prevent rhinitis well, Rhinitis is a very stubborn disease, basically from a scientific point of view, it is not possible, this is because the structure of our nasal cavity is too complex, once suffering from rhinitis, it is very easy to become inflamed, as if forming a habit, so if you want to prevent rhinitis in daily life, we can start from the following aspects:

1. Improve human immune function

Whether rhinitis is directly related to the immune function of the human body, people with strong immune function are generally not easy**, so it is recommended that we improve our immune function through exercise, we can develop an exercise plan for ourselves according to our actual situation, and stick to it for a long time, so that we can prevent both cold and rhinitis.

2. Stay away from allergens

For allergic rhinitis, staying away from allergens is a very good way to prevent rhinitis, because allergic rhinitis has a direct connection with allergens, we just need to know what allergens are, and make reasonable defenses, of course, if you don't know what allergens are, you can also go to a regular medical institution to do the corresponding testing.

3. Pay attention to protect the respiratory system

Rhinitis occurs in the upper respiratory tract, so if you want to prevent rhinitis, it is also very important to pay attention to protect our respiratory system, the nasal mucosa is very fragile, it is recommended that you do not often pick your nostrils with your hands in daily life, if the weather is more bad, try to bring some masks or scarves and other protective tools before going out.

Allergic rhinitis is a stress response caused by allergies, and itchy, sneezing, and runny nose are common. Away from the current environment can be quickly recovered. A runny nose in a cold is mostly caused by viruses or bacteria in the body that cause more nasal secretions.

Rhinitis can be triggered by a cold, and they all sneeze and have a runny nose, but rhinitis does not have chills when sneezing and runny nose, and they are afraid of cold when they have a cold, so they are different.

Point 1, allergic rhinitis will react when it encounters bacterial invasion, often sneezing, runny nose, especially uncomfortable, point 2, cold and flu then there will also be runny nose, because of the virus invasion, nose, mouth, throat will be infected, the connection between the two is actually because of bacterial infection, both will become very serious.

Rhinitis is usually divided into acute rhinitis, chronic rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, and atrophic rhinitis.

Acute rhinitis is what is known as a cold.

There are two kinds of chronic rhinitis, including chronic simple rhinitis and chronic hypertrophic rhinitis, chronic simple rhinitis is generally treated with nasal drugs nasal spray and **rhinitis Chinese patent medicine**, and the symptoms can be relieved in about 2-4 weeks.

Chronic hypertrophic rhinitis is usually controlled with minimally invasive nasal surgery**.

Allergic rhinitis can be considered with drugs** first, and surgery can be considered when the effect of drugs** is not good, or when there are chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps**.

The difference between allergic rhinitis and cold: first of all, the triggers are different, allergic rhinitis is mainly because the patient is exposed to the disease induced by allergens, and the cold may be related to the decline of the patient's resistance to cold weather, air pollution and other factors. Secondly, the symptoms of allergic rhinitis and colds are different, the manifestations of colds are nasal congestion, runny nose, occasional sneezing, nasal discharge may be transformed from clear mucus to mucopurulent or purulent nasal discharge, accompanied by headache, or general weakness, and even fever.

Allergic rhinitis is mainly manifested as paroxysmal nasal itching, sneezing, runny nose like water, itchy eyes, itchy ears, rarely accompanied by fever, muscle aches and weakness, etc. There is also the length of onset of allergic rhinitis and colds are different, colds generally occur suddenly, and the duration is generally not more than two weeks, allergic rhinitis has a longer course of disease, can be more than a month, a quarter, anti-**, mostly seasonal or perennial. In addition, colds can be contagious, while allergic rhinitis is not contagious, but it is hereditary and familial.

Antiviral drugs are used for colds, while anti-allergic drugs are commonly used for allergic rhinitis.

The difference between allergic rhinitis and the common cold is: 1. Allergic rhinitis most often presents symptoms such as nasal congestion, sneezing, nasal itching and runny nose, most of which occur after getting up in the morning, but as the weather warms, the symptoms can disappear and recur the next day. In some patients, symptoms may occur irregularly.

2. The early symptoms of the common cold can be manifested as runny nose and nasal congestion, and with the progression of the disease, systemic symptoms may appear, such as fever, sore throat or body aches.

Allergic rhinitis is more serious than a cold and has more eyes, ears and throat aches and itches, but the symptoms of nasal congestion are milder than those of a cold. Allergic rhinitis should be treated with diet and medication.

The main difference between allergic rhinitis and a cold is different. Allergic rhinitis and colds will cause sneezing and runny nose, but the symptoms of sneezing and runny nose during a cold are much milder than those of allergic rhinitis, but the symptoms of nasal congestion are more serious than those of allergic rhinitis, and colds will be accompanied by systemic symptoms, while the symptoms of allergic rhinitis will only be reflected in the nose.

Allergic rhinitis is accompanied by itchy nose and itchy eyes and ears, and sometimes sore throat medicine, but colds do not have these symptoms, and sometimes there is itchy throat, but the symptoms are mild. Allergic rhinitis causes a variety of symptoms such as itchy nose, sneezing, runny nose and nasal congestion, and these symptoms can occur at the same time, but a cold can cause a sore throat first, followed by nasal congestion and runny nose. The important difference between a cold is associated with a viral infection, while allergic rhinitis develops after exposure to an allergen.

After having allergic rhinitis, you should use some anti-allergic drugs under the guidance of a doctor, or you can spray directly through the nostrils to relieve allergic rhinitis as soon as possible, resulting in uncomfortable symptoms, most patients can make the physical discomfort caused by allergic rhinitis after taking medicine, and reduce it as soon as possible. Diet conditioning is also allergic rhinitis, the most common conditioning method, it is recommended to eat more high-quality protein-rich high-nutrient food, try to eat less seafood, drink less milk, and do not eat those foods that are easy to allergies, so as not to aggravate the condition.

If you have allergic rhinitis, you should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, try to enhance your physical fitness, improve your body's immunity, which will improve the body's anti-allergic ability and relieve the symptoms of allergic rhinitis. At the same time, to keep the air at home clean, it is best to use an air purifier or a mite removal machine, and the fluffy bed sheet cover should also be exposed to the sun frequently to reduce the generation of dust mites, which can prevent the body from contacting allergens and prevent the appearance of allergic rhinitis.

Recently, the temperature has changed greatly, and many friends have been sneezing non-stop, thinking that they are just catching a cold during the change of season. Actually, it is possible to think that allergic rhinitis is a cold!

According to survey data, the number of patients with allergic rhinitis in China is as high as 100 million. It's the season of allergic rhinitis, and here's what you need to know about allergic rhinitis and colds.

1.The difference between allergic rhinitis and a cold

Although the onset of allergic rhinitis is similar to that of a cold, it can still be distinguished by some details.

Colds are generally accompanied by systemic symptoms, such as dizziness, headache, and weakness. Allergic rhinitis is a problem that focuses on finding the nose, and generally has symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing and itchy nose.

Allergic rhinitis usually occurs in the morning, often requiring a dozen or even dozens of sneezes at a time, and the course of the disease is usually longer, while the cold generally gets better in a week.

2.How to deal with allergic rhinitis

Allergic rhinitis should be ** + prevention of two-pronged approach, the cause of its onset is because of the presence of allergens, so patients with allergic rhinitis should learn to prevent it at the same time.

Daily attention should be paid to stay away from allergens and allergenic environments, do not keep pets, flowers and plants, quit smoking, and regularly remove mites at home.

Finally, don't think that mild allergic rhinitis does not need to be treated, but allergic rhinitis can cause complications such as: otitis media effusion, bronchial asthma and other complications!

In addition to health risks, allergic rhinitis can also make people change from nasal breathing to mouth breathing, resulting in maxillofacial deformity and a gradual decline in appearance. Therefore, as long as allergic rhinitis is diagnosed, it must be positive**.

Allergic rhinitis is often accompanied by throat itching symptoms, which are more severe and will feel poor breathing, while the common cold will have a runny nose and sneezing, and the symptoms are mild; First of all, stay away from allergens, cooperate with the corresponding drugs**, and eat some light food.

Allergic rhinitis and colds can be distinguished by clinical symptoms, duration of illness, etc.

1. Clinical symptoms: allergic rhinitis is often caused by allergic reactions caused by contact with allergens such as pollen and dust mites, which can be divided into perennial and seasonal allergic rhinitis. Symptoms such as itchy nose, sneezing, and runny nose may occur when doing it next to the eggplant.

Colds are caused by viral or bacterial infections and can cause symptoms such as runny nose and sneezing, accompanied by systemic reactions such as fever, shivering, headache, and other symptoms.

3.Differences in symptoms: The main symptoms of colds include runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, headache, body pain, cough, etc.; Allergic rhinitis, on the other hand, is characterized by frequent sneezing, nasal congestion, watery nasal discharge, itching of the eyes and tears coming out.

4.Fever: A cold may be accompanied by a mild fever, whereas allergic rhinitis generally does not cause fever.

5.History of exposure: Colds are usually spread through contact with someone who has a cold or contact with objects contaminated with cold viruses, whereas allergic rhinitis is an allergic reaction triggered by an allergen.

6.It is often used as a treatment.

Allergic rhinitis and colds are two different diseases, and although they both can cause similar nasal symptoms, their causes, symptoms, and ways are different. Here are the main differences between allergic rhinitis and a cold:

Causes: Allergic rhinitis: Allergic rhinitis is an immune system reaction caused by allergens such as pollen, pet dander, dust mites, etc. When the body is exposed to allergens, the immune system releases chemicals that cause an inflammatory response in the nasal passages and sinuses.

Colds: Colds are caused by cold virus infections. Cold viruses are transmitted through airborne droplets, and after entering the human body, they are known to infect the cells of the upper respiratory tract, causing cold symptoms.

Symptoms: Allergic rhinitis: Common symptoms include frequent sneezing, watery nasal discharge, nasal congestion, itching, and congestion. Nasal symptoms may be accompanied by allergic symptoms such as itchy eyes, redness, and watery eyes.

Colds: Symptoms of a cold usually include sneezing, yellowish-green runny nose, nasal congestion, sore throat, cough, fever, and general malaise.

Allergic rhinitis: Symptoms of allergic rhinitis usually last from a few days to weeks, especially when exposed to allergens.

Colds: Cold symptoms usually last for about a week, but they are most severe in the first few days after infection.

Infectious: Allergic rhinitis: Allergic rhinitis is not a contagious disease and cannot be transmitted to others through contact with an infected person or respiratory droplets.

Colds: Colds are contagious illnesses that spread through airborne droplets and can lead to infections from contact with or sharing objects with a sick person.

Allergic rhinitis: Allergic rhinitis mainly includes allergen avoidance, antihistamines, nasal sprays, allergic immunity, etc.

Colds: Colds are mainly symptomatic and include rest, hydration, antipyretics, and symptomatic symptomatic relief.

Allergic rhinitis is significantly different from a cold. Colds can generally be cured in a week or two weeks, and allergic rhinitis has a long course of illness, which can be carried for more than a month, a quarter, or even a year. Allergic rhinitis is mostly seasonal or often good year, and the performance of patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis changes due to different seasons of cracking, such as pollen allergy in spring and self-healing in summer; Patients with perennial allergic rhinitis are allergic to dust mites, milk, eggs, beef, mutton and other foods, and long-term exposure without knowing it can lead to perennial allergic rhinitis.
