Autumn is coming soon, and for friends with rhinitis, they will face another difficult period. Every year at this time, many people fall into self doubt, thinking, 'Just as autumn begins, rhinitis strikes like an alarm clock, sneezing incessantly, and my nose becomes congested, causing insomnia. Could it be that my immune system is too weak?' In fact, the onset of rhinitis after the beginning of autumn is not entirely a problem with my immune system, but may be due to accidentally stepping into the 'hidden traps' in climate, lifestyle habits, and diet during the season change.

If it cools down, then suddenly add clothes?

       Freezing at the beginning of autumn to enhance resistance and wrapping yourself in thick clothes as soon as it gets cold are both extreme measures. After the beginning of autumn, the temperature difference between day and night can reach more than 10 ℃. At noon, the sun is scorching like summer, and the cool breeze in the morning and evening is like deep autumn. Many people experience rhinitis due to improper clothing. It should be noted that alternating between cold and hot is more dangerous than simply catching a cold. The alternation of cold and hot can repeatedly test the nasal cavity with the "dual heaven of ice and fire". At this point, it is recommended to adopt the onion style dressing method to flexibly cope with temperature differences. When entering and exiting environments with temperature differences, remember to do a good job of "transitional buffering". In addition, the neck, back, and feet are relatively fragile and prone to catching cold, so it is important to focus on keeping warm.

Eating autumn fat casually?

       During the beginning of autumn, people have a traditional custom of sticking on autumn fat. However, many friends simply understand it as "eating meat excessively and tonifying the body". For ordinary people, this type of dietary supplement may not cause any discomfort except for weight gain, but for friends with rhinitis, it is a major offense. At this time, the nasal mucosa is in a sensitive state, and spicy, high oil, raw and cold foods are like "invisible pushers", which can exacerbate inflammation and make symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny nose worse. So, sticking autumn fat should also follow scientific principles, choose warm and moist foods correctly, in order to achieve the effect of nourishing without being too hot. Friends with rhinitis should pay extra attention to their diet and try to avoid consuming spicy, high oil, high salt, and raw/cold foods.

Is drinking more water the only way to deal with dry weather?

       With the arrival of autumn, the air gradually becomes dry, and the nasal mucosa becomes fragile and sensitive, just like dehydrated skin. So people began to emphasize "drinking more water". However, simply drinking a large amount of water cannot directly moisturize the nasal cavity, and may instead increase the body's burden due to frequent urination.

       In fact, the key to truly solving the problem lies in precise moisturizing of the nasal cavity. In daily life, you can use physiological saline or nasal spray to clean your nose every morning and evening, which can effectively keep your nasal cavity moist and alleviate the discomfort caused by dryness. In addition, when the nasal cavity is too dry and leads to an increase in nasal crusts, do not directly dig with your hands. This approach can easily worsen nasal congestion and even cause bleeding.

       Seeing this, did you suddenly realize that Liqiu rhinitis always recurs, perhaps not because of your weak physical condition, but because you accidentally fell into these hidden traps during the season change! Laiwo Medical kindly reminds that rhinitis is never a label of "poor immunity", but an alarm signal issued by the body, reminding us to pay attention to daily care, lifestyle habits, and make corresponding adjustments. Only in this way can we fully appreciate the beauty of autumn.
