On the subway in the morning rush hour every day, I wear a mask and have a runny nose. The cause of the epidemic is that it is inconvenient to take off the mask and wipe your nose. In fact, it is impolite to wipe your nose in public. I found a good way, that is, rub the toilet paper into strips and stuff it into your nostrils, and then let it flow. You can blow your nose and change paper towels when you get off the subway ~ well, this form is so familiar ~
As an old allergic person, I have an effective strategy to deal with pollen through constant trial and research, and I would like to share it with you ~ I suggest you read the first four strategies carefully ~
If you are lazy, you can directly read article 5, and find a professional organization to escort your allergic constitution and provide you with a full set of allergic health management products and 1 services.
First, minimize contact with pollen.
? 1, when the pollen concentration is low, it is affected by the pollen concentration in the air. The higher the concentration, the more serious the symptoms.
Do you know that the pollen concentration is different at different times of the day? Pollen concentration is different in different weather!
How do we know the pollen concentration? It is understood that pollen concentration monitoring has been set up in Beijing. You can check the pollen concentration broadcast in Beijing. It doesn't matter if there is no broadcast. The following points can be easily distinguished:
?
2. Wear a mask when going out, and wear an eye mask if there are symptoms in the eyes.
Here, what specifications of masks can prevent pollen?
1) only prevents pollen, and "disposable medical mask" is enough.
2) But now we have to guard against COVID-19. "Medical surgical mask" can be used.
Medical surgical masks must conform to China's pharmaceutical industry standard YY 0469-201"Technical Requirements for Medical Surgical Masks", and Class II medical devices must be registered.
3) Don't recommend that cute and beautiful disposable mask (without logo and certification).
For the selection of masks, read "Choose a mask that can prevent epidemic and prevent pollen for allergic babies" in detail.
? 3, the room ventilation depends on the time.
At this time, ventilation is unhealthy for those of us who are allergic to pollen.
As mentioned above, the pollen concentration depends on the time and weather, so it is recommended to ventilate in the morning or at night; Ventilation is a good choice in windy days and rainy days ~
? 1) Conditional and reasonable choice of residence
For example, I am allergic to willow pollen. In spring, when there are willows in the south, I will go to the north on business to feel the cold in winter. When the catkins fly in the north, go to Sanya for a holiday. This probably only applies to some people!
2) I don't know what pollen I am allergic to? Check allergens.
Some people may not know what pollen they are allergic to, or even whether they are allergic, right? There is always a runny nose for 1~2 months every year ~
Here, I suggest you make it clear:
Because of the epidemic, many people are inconvenient to go to the hospital, saying that they can't check allergens.
In fact, allergens can now be tested at home and provided without a doctor. You can buy it in JD.COM, Taobao or Doctor's Mall. Take a blood sample at home, send the sample to the laboratory and wait for the report.
?
Second, how to relieve allergic symptoms
I am allergic to pollen, but I have to go out when the pollen concentration is high, and sometimes it is inconvenient to wear a mask; Sometimes there will inevitably be a lot of pollen in the room; Can I only endure the painful and embarrassing symptoms of runny nose, sneezing, itchy eyes and tears? There are two ways to deal with it. In terms of medication, you need to consult a doctor in advance ~
1) Take medicine in advance to prevent it.
Preventive drugs should be taken 2-4 weeks before pollen season, and antihistamines can be taken orally at this time. Cetirizine hydrochloride tablets or levocetirizine hydrochloride tablets are recommended here.
2) Daily medication should not be stopped in allergic season.
In the pollen season, it is necessary to use nasal hormone drugs or nasal antihistamines in combination with oral antihistamines.
?
Third, can you not be allergic in the future?
I believe many people with allergies have this question. Can allergy be cured?
Me too. I have been allergic since 3 years ago and report allergic rhinitis on time every year. Can't it be cured? Will you stop doing it?
1) desensitization therapy
The desensitization treatment of allergy is to make the protein extract of the allergen into vaccine after determining the pathogenic allergen of the patient, and make the patient's body accept (produce immune tolerance) by subcutaneous injection or sublingual administration of the vaccine with low to high concentration and small to large dose, so that the allergic symptoms will not occur or be alleviated when the patient contacts the allergen again.
But not all allergens can be desensitized. Not everyone is suitable for desensitization treatment, but it is a protracted war.
The course of desensitization treatment is generally 3~5 years, and the medicine is taken daily (desensitization drops are dripped under the tongue to be absorbed slowly, and swallowed after 1~3 minutes). The onset time is long, and the allergic individuals vary greatly. Short-term use can not achieve the effect of desensitization treatment itself, so short-term use is not recommended. Once the desensitization treatment is started, please follow the doctor's advice for a full course of continuous treatment, so that the desensitization treatment can exert its maximum effect.
Internationally recognized desensitizers include dust mites, various pollen, bee venom, etc. Now peanuts can also be desensitized abroad.
In China, dust mites are mainly desensitized. Now Peking Union Medical College Hospital has desensitization of pollen, pet dander and fungi. Sublingual desensitizers include dust mites and Artemisia annua sublingual drops, 202 1 just listed. Whether desensitization treatment is needed or not, and in the process of desensitization, I hope that everyone must seriously consult and listen to the advice of professional doctors. Read "Can allergies be cured?" Can allergy be desensitized? 》。
?
2) Improve allergic constitution
I can proudly say that after 1 year's efforts, in the pollen season of 202 1, my allergic symptoms were alleviated and the allergic time was shortened!
In 2020, my allergic symptoms are runny nose, sneezing, itchy eyes and itchy ears; The symptoms lasted for two months.
202 1 my allergic symptoms are runny nose and itchy ears; The symptoms lasted for 2 weeks. I went to Shenzhen for a week on business and returned to Beijing. The symptoms disappeared. Let me explain here that I am allergic to mugwort pollen, which is more serious in Beijing; There is basically no mugwort pollen in Shenzhen. The symptoms were not serious at first, but disappeared the next day in Shenzhen. 1 week later, I returned to Beijing. Although there is still mugwort pollen in the air, I have no secondary allergy. I can't explain the main reason why I'm no longer allergic after a week away from allergens, but it must be related to my physique.
So what efforts have I made this year?
Because I mainly want to lose weight (I didn't expect to really improve my physique and enhance my immunity), I basically have 1~2 exercises for more than 30 minutes every week, and most of them are slow-paced aerobic exercises, such as jogging, swimming and walking.
The exercise intensity of people with allergic constitution should not be too high, and moderate intensity aerobic exercise is appropriate. It can be walking, jogging or other sports that can significantly speed up the heart rate.
Exercise intensity should be no sweating or slight sweating, and it is best to exercise 2~3 times a week for 30 minutes to 1 hour each time.
Of course, people with pollen allergy should avoid outdoor sports during the pollen allergy season.
Dinner recipes and time are very important. Dinner was changed at 20: 00 (mala Tang, hot and sour powder, snail powder, etc. ) light food package before 18: 00. This is very simple. Just order takeout at work. Weekend dinner is also a variety of homemade light soups, such as egg radish soup, egg winter melon soup, shrimp cabbage soup and so on. Actually, I adjusted my dinner diet to lose weight. At best, I abandoned unhealthy eating habits, but I didn't pay attention to improving allergic recipes. It is suggested to try medicinal diet for dietary conditioning, such as astragalus yam porridge, onion and red jujube chicken porridge, ganoderma lucidum and astragalus stew. It is suggested that the selection of recipes can be targeted in the later stage, and you can consult a dietitian or contact a doctor for consultation.
I made a sleep record for myself ~ I hope to fall asleep before 23:00. I'm not doing very well at this point, but I'm getting better, much better than in 2020 ~ I hope there will be more and more records before 23: 00 in the future.
In addition, it is recommended to reduce dependence on electronic products before going to bed. Although it can't be done, according to research, watching TV and using mobile phones or other electronic devices before going to bed will reduce the quality of sleep. Because the screen of electronic products will emit blue light, blue light will inhibit the secretion of melatonin that promotes sleep, and this hormone controls the sleep and awakening cycle, so electronic devices should be turned off one hour before going to bed.
Fourth, other matters needing attention
1) Pay close attention to the body's reaction to other allergens.
If we are allergic to one substance, we are allergic and easily allergic to other substances. Therefore, in daily life, we should pay close attention to our physical reactions after contact with other allergens, such as sneezing, stomachache, diarrhea, eczema, etc., which may be caused by allergies.
Especially when you are exposed to allergens for the first time, you must be careful to observe whether your body is abnormal or uncomfortable.
2) Check other allergens when necessary.
Sometimes we are sensitized after the first contact with allergens, but there will be no symptoms. Symptoms may appear after the second contact. So for common allergens, I suggest you check it out.
3) Pay attention to the allergies of children or parents.
If you are allergic, your children and your parents have a high probability of being allergic.
Among patients with allergic diseases, about 40%-50% patients have a family allergy history. Eczema, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma are all related to genetic susceptibility. Studies have shown that children are more susceptible to allergies if their parents have a history of allergies. If one parent has a history of allergies, the risk of children's allergies is 20%-40%; If both parents have a history of allergies, the risk of children's allergies is 40%-60%; If both parents have the same allergic symptoms (such as asthma and eczema), the risk of children having the same symptoms is as high as 50%-80%. It is worth noting that even if both parents have no allergic history, children may still have allergies, which is about 5%- 15%.
4) Record your own allergen test results, allergic symptoms and medication history, and be prepared for a protracted war.
Allergy is a constantly changing disease, so it is recommended to keep a record.
