How to Prevent Allergic Rhinitis
Firstly, we need to avoid or reduce contact with allergens that trigger allergic rhinitis. The root cause of exacerbating allergic rhinitis is the Allergens themselves.
- To identify one's allergens, one can consult a doctor or take an allergy test.
The following allergens can trigger allergic rhinitis:
Pollen Avoid going out, especially in areas with high concentrations of pollen during pollen season. If going out is necessary, wearing a mask is highly recommended to prevent Allergic Rhinitis.
Dead Dust Mites and their excrement Clean the floors, walls, curtains, and other household items frequently and ensure bedding is washed once a week. Use dust mite-proof mattresses and pillows.
Dust and Air Pollution Frequently clean the floors, walls, curtains, and other household items to maintain a clean indoor environment. If outdoor air pollution is severe, avoid prolonged outdoor activities. An air purifier can also be used to filter out allergens in the indoor air.
Pet dander, saliva, and even fur and urine
If having a pet but noticing oneself/family members are allergic to it, clean the floors, walls, curtains, and other household items weekly and bathe the pet frequently.
Try not to let the pet enter the bedroom or other critical areas.
The allergens causing rhinitis are mainly inhalants,
followed by food and dietary habits.
Common food allergens include Histamine, which is found in seafood, nuts, fruits, etc. If one is sensitive to such foods, avoid to eating them.
Eating spicy foods may stimulate the nasal cavity and mucous membrane, exacerbating rhinitis symptoms. If spicy foods are found to worsen allergic rhinitis symptoms, it is suggested to reduce or avoid them.
There are also many other allergens, such as tobacco smoke, mold, medications, and odors.
Therefore, if suspecting oneself of having allergic rhinitis symptoms, it is recommended to consult a doctor for relevant tests to identify the allergens.
