1. What should I do if my eyes itch due to rhinitis?

1. First of all, we need to determine the cause. Is it caused by allergic rhinitis? We should go to the hospital for examination. If it is determined that the allergy is caused, the allergen can be tested to determine which substance it is, so that you can pay attention to prevention in your daily life.

2. Use eye drops and other medicines as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use, stop or change medicines without authorization, so as to avoid affecting the treatment effect or causing other adverse reactions due to inappropriate use.

3. Pay attention to eye hygiene. Do not rub your eyes hard when they are itchy. Keep your face towel clean and dry. Expose your eyes to the sun more often to prevent infection. Take more rests and avoid looking at the computer for long periods of time to prevent overstraining of the eyes and eye fatigue that affects recovery. Do not wear contact lenses when your eyes are itchy to avoid aggravating the symptoms.

4. Pay attention to your diet, do not eat irritating and allergenic foods, such as seafood, and avoid places with turbid air. You can also cooperate with traditional Chinese medicine treatment, Chinese medicine conditioning or physical therapy, and massage of facial acupoints can relieve symptoms.

2. Symptoms of allergic rhinitis

1. Runny nose with lots of clear water: People also have clear watery runny nose when they have a cold, but the runny nose with a cold is often a process. It starts with a small amount, then increases as the condition worsens. The condition improves after effective treatment, which usually only lasts a few days. However, with allergic rhinitis, the runny nose will last for at least a week.

2. Nasal congestion: An important feature of nasal congestion caused by allergic rhinitis is that it is related to body posture. For example, if you lie on your left side, the left nose will be blocked, while if you lie on your right side, the left nostril will be unobstructed and the right nostril will be blocked. When the nasal congestion is severe, you may even need to breathe through your mouth.

3. Orbital allergy: This is a symptom that is basically not seen in colds. Patients with allergic rhinitis often experience red, itchy and tearful eyes. After repeatedly rubbing their eyes, dark circles will appear under the eye sockets, forming the so-called panda eyes.

4. Itchy nose: The itchy nose caused by allergic rhinitis is a kind of skin allergy, which is very different from the mild itchy nose caused by a cold. Patients often feel uncomfortable with itching, rashes appear on the tip of the nose, and sometimes even ulcers on the bridge of the nose from scratching cannot relieve the pain.

5. Paroxysmal sneezing: The sneezing of patients with allergic rhinitis is different from that of colds and fevers. Each attack usually involves no less than 5 sneezes, and sometimes even dozens of them. Sneezing often occurs in the morning, when getting up, when going to bed at night, or worsens with the change of seasons. Some people experience sneezing several times almost every day.
