Rhinitis: prevents seizures and prevents complications
Allergic rhinitis does not choose a season to manifest itself. In summer or winter, when the weather is dry and temperature fluctuations are constant, the immune system is more exposed to disease crises. The otorhinolaryngologist Marcelo Alfredo, from the Hospital and Maternidade Beneficência Portuguesa, makes some warnings and gives tips and guidelines, besides noting that allergy does not represent a lack of defense of the organism.
Allergic rhinitis is an inflammation in the nasal mucosa, of 30% of the population and can be caused by viruses or bacteria, and still be allergic or non-allergic. Rhinitis produces an excess of mucus generated by the accumulation of histamine defense produced by the body, which increases blood circulation and defense cells, causing foreign substances to be eliminated.
According to the specialist, nasal obstruction, the sneezing and coryza protect the body from viruses. "Allergy does not mean a lack of defense, but an exaggerated defense." The allergic person's immune system can interpret when a substance is toxic and protects the body from entering. " If a couple of allergy sufferers have a child, the chance of the child being allergic is approximately 60%. The individual may also be allergic, even if the father or mother does not have an allergy.
Dust, flower pollen, and some foods can trigger allergic crises. The most common is that related to the mite, an eight-legged insect of the arachnid family, which feeds on skin peeling.

Breathing Effort
The most common symptoms of allergic rhinitis are nasal obstruction, poor sense of smell, headache, itching in the nose, throat, sky of the mouth and eyes, in addition to sneezes in succession and coryza. Allergic rhinitis can cause otitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis and snoring, as well as misalignment of the teeth. It can often be accompanied by asthma, as asthma is caused by exposure to allergic factors, causing inflammation in the respiratory mucosa.
The correct diagnosis and medical follow-up are important, since the practitioner will check the presence of problems within the nose, such as septum deviation, which worsen the symptoms of rhinitis. Usually the treatment is divided into three phases, environmental hygiene, anti-allergic drug treatment, decongestants and anti-allergy vaccines, in some cases surgery is necessary.
The recommendation is to maintain, even if
Healthy home
The patient should avoid enclosed spaces, do not smoke, and avoid strong odors, stay away from mold and the agents that trigger it. the crisis.

Another tip and take good care of the allergic room, as it spends about eight hours sleeping, in addition to being the environment most contaminated by mites. Ideally mattress and pillow should be lined, duvets and stuffed animals should be washed every 10 days, woolen clothing should be kept in closed plastic bags and pets should never enter the rooms. "Allergic rhinitis has no cure, but there are treatments that alleviate symptoms as long as it is treated correctly the patient can live without them," concludes the specialist.Orange juice prevents crises

The researchers realized that adding folic acid in foods such as breads and cakes reduced the incidence of allergies. The conclusion was obtained after the follow-up of 8,000 people for two years: the higher the levels of folic acid in the blood, the doctors identified, the lower the levels of the agent responsible for triggering the allergic crises. that skin allergies decrease with regular folate consumption. "A balanced diet can provide the 400mcg needed daily for men and women," explains nutritionist Roberta Stella.
