【Laiwo Medical: Knowledge Sharing】He dares not blow dry, stay up late, or eat spicy food. His nose is really delicate
Publish Date: 2026/5/22
If you have a friend with rhinitis around you, you will find that he must bring these two things when going out: tissues and masks. Don't misunderstand, it's not because he pays special attention to health, but because his nose is difficult to take care of.
Friends with rhinitis are very sensitive, and when the air conditioning temperature drops slightly, they start to have a runny nose; A little willow catkins floating in the air will make me sneeze a few times in a row; If you stay up late until 2am, those two nostrils will be completely blocked. Another typical example is seasonal change: whether it's spring quietly approaching or autumn breeze just beginning, the nose will always signal with three consecutive sneezes: "I'm online." While others are busy adding or removing clothes, they are busy looking for tissues; Others enjoy the scenery with joy, but he can only silently wear a mask. Friends often cast confused glances, and he could only helplessly smile and say, "There's nothing we can do, our nose is in charge
The scene at the dining table became even more lively. Everyone ate hotpot together. The hot air from Double-flavor hot pot could make him snot and cry. Go eat Japanese food. Before the salmon reaches your mouth, the smell of mustard wafts into your nose, which then triggers at least three sneezes to protest. Going to have a roadside barbecue, the smell of charcoal smoke blew over and my nose immediately started to clear, as if saying, "Is this choking thing trying to make me go on strike
It's okay to make a fuss during the day, but it's only at night that this nose really starts to bother people. Lying down is like a tug of war: lying on the left side, it blocks the left nostril; Lie on the right side, it blocks the right nostril; If you can't stand it anymore and switch to lying flat, it will result in both nostrils being blocked together. He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, his nose quietly "striking". In the end, I had to sleep half sitting, with two or three pillows on top, but I still couldn't catch my breath.
In fact, this nose was not intentionally against him. It's just too sensitive - every speck of dust, every gust of cold wind, every tiny pollen, will stimulate it to make a strong reaction. But this way of reaction is not very dignified: two lines of clear tears flow down, plus a red nose.
Later, he learned to coexist peacefully: wearing a mask when going out is like giving it a layer of protection; Rinse the nasal cavity with normal saline or seawater nasal spray to keep it clean; Try to avoid obvious allergens and follow their nature.
Although rhinitis can bring many troubles, the sensitive nasal cavity is ultimately a part of the body. If you see your friend sneezing frequently in the future, don't be confused. Just pass a paper towel/bottle of seawater nasal spray. Finally, Laiwo Medical would like to say to everyone: having more understanding and empathy towards friends with rhinitis is the warmest way to get along.
