Allergic Rhinitis Care

Allergic rhinitis is an allergic reaction causing inflammation inside the nose, triggered by allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or mold. It leads to symptoms like sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy eyes, and a runny nose, and is often influenced by genetics.

Causes

Outdoor allergens: Pollen from trees, grass, weeds, or mold spores (seasonal rhinitis)
Indoor allergens: Dust mites, pet dander, mold, or pest allergens (perennial rhinitis)
Occupational triggers: Wood dust, flour dust, or latex
Genetic predisposition: Family history of allergies increases risk
Environmental irritants: Smoke, strong odors, or air pollutants

Do’s

Minimize allergen exposure: Keep windows closed during high pollen seasons and use air conditioning with HEPA filters.
Wash hands and face after outdoor activities to remove allergens.
Shower and change clothes after being outside to eliminate pollen.
Use dust mite-proof covers for bedding and wash linens regularly.
Vacuum frequently with a HEPA filter vacuum to reduce indoor allergens.
Use saline nasal rinses to clear allergens from nasal passages.
Follow prescribed treatments, such as antihistamines or nasal corticosteroids.
Bathe pets weekly to reduce dander if allergic to animals.

Don’ts

Don’t engage in outdoor activities during high pollen counts if sensitive.
Don’t dry clothes outdoors during pollen season, as they can collect allergens.
Don’t overuse nasal decongestant sprays, as they can worsen symptoms.
Don’t expose yourself to smoke, strong odors, or pollutants that irritate the nose.
Don’t ignore persistent symptoms; consult a doctor if symptoms last over two weeks.

Dietary Guidance

Consume a diet rich in fruits and vegetables to support immune health with antioxidants and vitamins.
Stay hydrated with water and warm fluids to help thin mucus.
Include probiotics like yogurt or fermented foods, which may benefit some individuals with allergies.
Avoid foods that trigger oral allergy syndrome, such as certain raw fruits or vegetables, if sensitive to pollen.
Limit processed foods and refined sugars that may weaken immunity.
