I have allergic rhinitis, sneezing and eyes every autumn. ...
Many people think it is a cold, but it is actually an autumn pollen allergy. At present, many places in China have entered the period of high incidence of autumn allergies.
Why is autumn allergic?
More serious than spring?
The most common allergens in summer and autumn are pollen, mold and dust mites. As far as allergenicity is concerned, there are the following differences between autumn and spring allergies:
1
Pollen sensitization is stronger in autumn.
The pollen in spring is mostly tree pollen, which is large in size and often falls to the ground, and is inhaled by people after the wind blows, causing allergies.
Pollen in autumn mostly comes from weeds, especially Artemisia, Chenopodiaceae/Amaranthaceae, Humulus, etc. The particles are small and dry, so it is easy to float in the air, which makes people hard to prevent.
Although the pollen concentration in spring is higher than that in autumn, the allergenicity of autumn pollen is stronger. Artemisia pollen is one of the important allergens, and some people can have a serious allergic reaction as long as they are exposed to a small amount of Artemisia pollen.

In autumn, mold breeds more.
Autumn morning dew or rain residue, fallen leaves and rotten vegetation contribute to the growth of mold. People who contact or inhale mold spores are also allergic.
three
The climate in autumn is drier than that in spring.
In autumn, the air is dry, the ultraviolet rays are strong, the skin is easy to lose moisture, the barrier function is weakened, and dry eczema and allergic dermatitis often appear.
In addition, autumn is also a high incidence of indoor allergies, which is mainly related to insufficient ventilation, leading to excessive indoor dust mites and dander, which leads to allergic reactions.

Parents must not be careless.
Not only adults, but also children are high-risk groups of allergic diseases in autumn. Allergens include pollen, pet dander, fungi, dust mites, food, drugs and so on. In addition, children with a family history of allergies are also high-risk groups of allergies.
1. When the child has abdominal pain and diarrhea, check whether there is allergic gastroenteritis after eliminating the infection;
2. There is a rash with itching, which will get worse after eating certain foods. Check whether you have allergic dermatitis;
3. Symptoms such as itchy nose, stuffy nose, runny nose and sneezing. After eliminating infection, check whether you have allergic rhinitis;
4. Itchy eyes, accompanied by itchy nose and sneezing. , should check allergic conjunctivitis;
5. Cough and wheezing. After removing the cold, check whether there is variant cough and allergic asthma.
Many parents believe that the symptoms of seasonal allergies will pass after a while. Actually, this is a misunderstanding. Taking common allergic rhinitis as an example, it can cause sinusitis, hypoesthesia, otitis media and even develop into asthma. Therefore, when children have related symptoms, parents must pay attention to them. ......
How to distinguish fungal allergy from pollen allergy?
Recently, heavy rainfall occurred in many places in China, with heavy rainfall, high humidity and high temperature, which provided good conditions for the survival and reproduction of fungi. In this regard, experts suggest that allergies are high in autumn, and the public should be careful of allergic diseases caused by fungi while preventing pollen allergies.
Fungal allergy refers to the allergic reaction after spores and hyphae of fungi enter the body through various channels. If they have asthma, allergic rhinitis and allergic dermatitis, they are more likely to cause fungal allergies.
Fungi like to breed in humid environment, especially in bathrooms, basements, warehouses and other poorly ventilated environments.
Summer and autumn are the high incidence periods of fungal allergy, especially after rainy days. The air humidity is high, which is beneficial to the propagation of fungi. If you are exposed for a long time or often in an environment containing a lot of fungi, it may cause fungal allergic diseases.
Pollen allergic rhinitis is similar to allergic rhinitis caused by fungi in symptoms, which is easy to cause misdiagnosis. Therefore, it is necessary to check allergens and distinguish them correctly before effective treatment.
What should I do after allergies?
Once allergic symptoms appear, you need to go to the hospital in time, treat them under the guidance of a doctor, and control and intervene the causes of allergies.
1
Control and treatment of environmental allergens
Allergen exposure is the initial factor of allergic diseases.
According to the data of the World Allergy Organization, there are more than 50 dust mites per gram of dust in the environment, which can induce allergies and asthma. The number of dust mites per gram of dust in the environment exceeds 65,438+000, which has a high risk of acute asthma attack.
Therefore, reducing the concentration of dust mites at home is an important link in the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases.
2
desensitization treatment
Desensitization therapy is a kind of treatment method that gradually increases the dose of harmless substances from outside and makes the body produce immune tolerance. Known as specific immunotherapy in medicine, it is the only method recommended by the World Health Organization to treat allergic causes.
three
Drug symptomatic treatment
The most commonly used oral antihistamines are commonly used antiallergic drugs, such as cetirizine, loratadine, mizolastine and ebastine. , as well as some external drugs and external drugs, can effectively relieve discomfort. Medication needs to be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
four
Health management of allergic people
Allergy health management refers to the management of health awareness, environmental allergens, human physiological and psychological factors, allergy screening and re-examination for allergic people who are worried about allergic diseases or are in sub-health state throughout their life cycle, such as those between eczema and allergic rhinitis.
