summary
Rhinitis in the disease, if there is no timely treatment, there will be many complications, which drag into a serious disease, it is not worth it. So, let's understand the complications of rhinitis, rhinitis patients need to be aware of these complications.
Small rhinitis, great harm and complications of rhinitis
First: allergic rhinitis: one of the main complications is nasal polyps, as well as nasal polyps on the change, these are manifested as nasal obstruction, nasal hypertrophy, can take some conservative treatment.
Second: bronchial asthma: less than half of pollinosis patients and some perennial allergic rhinitis patients develop bronchial asthma, which is caused by allergic bronchial lesions, and its allergens are also consistent with allergic rhinitis, generally in the nose. Bronchial asthma occurs several years after the appearance of eye symptoms. Before the onset of asthma, there is a persistent cough that can not be cured for a long time. This is asthma The prodromal symptoms of asthma are caused by allergic tracheitis. A small number of patients have asthma at the same time as nasal and eye symptoms. A small number of children have asthma first. Often occurs in children, a few years later, nasal symptoms, asthma may still be in attack, may have no clinical manifestations, bronchial asthma attack is mainly manifested as expiratory dyspnea, and wheezing; severe accompanied by chest tightness, suffocation, can not lie flat. In order to eliminate the viscous secretion in the bronchus, the patient often coughs hard, which can cause vomiting in children. When asthma begins to relieve, a large amount of white sticky sputum often emerges, and dyspnea is relieved. Long term asthma attack can be complicated with emphysema and cor pulmonale, which seriously affects the health and quality of life of the patient, This is only seen in perennial allergic rhinitis.
Third: otitis media: because the swollen or edematous nasal mucosa is continuous with the eustachian tube mucosa, the same pathological changes can occur in the eustachian tube mucosa. When the swelling and edema of the eustachian membrane mucosa reach a certain degree, it can lead to eustachian tube obstruction, effusion in the middle ear cavity, and hearing loss. This is allergic otitis media. This disease does not suppurate, so it will not lead to tympanic membrane perforation and ear abscess, Its allergen is consistent with allergic rhinitis, but allergic rhinitis complicated with allergic otitis media is not common.
matters needing attention
1. Children and adolescents: adolescents are in the stage of physical development, with poor resistance, but the nasal cavity leads to many organs of the body. Inflammation is easy to cause serious complications, such as otitis media, pharyngitis, adenoiditis, bronchitis, conjunctivitis, brain inflammation and other diseases. Long term rhinitis will seriously affect the development of the body and intelligence! There is no spirit in class, can't remember things, academic performance is declining. 2. Young people: when rhinitis affects the physiological function of the nasal cavity, there will be respiratory disorders, which will lead to the decrease of blood oxygen concentration, affect the function and metabolism of other tissues and organs, and cause headache, mental depression, memory decline, dyspnea, sneezing, nasal discharge and other symptoms. 3. Middle aged people: pharyngitis, asthma and insomnia caused by chronic rhinitis are also common problems among middle-aged people. The middle-aged people suffering from hypertension should be paid enough attention to, long-term nasal hypoxia, lack of oxygen during sleep, serious cases can cause cerebral infarction, high blood pressure, sudden heart disease, individual or even sudden death at night. 4. Elderly: rhinitis can aggravate asthma, hypertension and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, affect the state of oxygen supply to the heart and brain of the elderly, and even cause cerebral infarction, hypertension and heart disease. Sleep apnea caused by rhinitis can seriously endanger the life of the elderly.
