How to treat fungal rhinitis

Speaking of rhinitis, it brings a lot of trouble to people. When the disease occurs, there will always be nasal congestion and runny nose. This clinical symptom is surprisingly consistent with a cold, so it is always difficult to detect in the early stage of the disease. The fungal rhinitis we are talking about now is a type of specific rhinitis. It is more common in immunocompromised people, diabetics, and burn patients. The treatment of fungal rhinitis is mainly prevention, and timely treatment is also the main focus. Let's talk about how to treat fungal rhinitis?

Minimally invasive surgery causes less trauma. Due to the different types of pathogenic fungi, the clinical manifestations and treatment methods are different. Strictly speaking, nasal fungal infections can be divided into non-invasive, invasive, fungus ball and allergic types according to their clinical characteristics. The fungus ball type is the most common in clinical practice.

In recent years, with the development of nasal endoscopic surgery, minimally invasive maxillary sinus surgery can be performed through the nose. Under the nasal endoscope, the natural opening of the maxillary sinus can be enlarged, and the fungal balls and necrotic tissue in the maxillary sinus can be completely cleaned up, avoiding external incisions, and postoperative follow-up is also extremely convenient.

Develop good habits and prevent first

1. Keep exercising:

Regularly carry out physical exercise, especially cold-resistant exercise. You should go outdoors more often to breathe fresh air to improve the blood circulation of the nasal mucosa.

2. Wash your nose frequently:

We breathe through our noses every day, inhaling a large amount of dust, bacteria, sulfur dioxide and other waste gases and viruses in the air. As the first gateway for the human body to interact with air, the nose is constantly invaded by polluted air. Although the nasal mucosa has filtering and cleaning functions, regular nasal washing will help the nasal cavity function better.

Method: Hold warm water or warm salt water in the palm of your hand. Lower your head and inhale it through your nose, and spit it out through your mouth or blow it out through your nose. Don't be afraid of the trouble, do it more often! It is best to wash your nose with cold water all year round, especially when washing your face in the morning. Washing your nose with cold water several times can improve the blood circulation of the nasal mucosa, enhance the nose's ability to adapt to weather changes, and prevent colds and other respiratory diseases.

3. Correct bad habits:

Picking your nose, plucking or cutting your nose hair with your hands are all very harmful to your little nose, because damaging the nose hair and nasal mucosa will not only cause purulent infection in the nasal cavity, but may also cause diseases in the brain and ears.

4. Health massage:

Proper health massage of the nose can greatly enhance the function of the nose. For example, pressing acupoints such as Yingxiang, or rubbing the sides of the nose bridge up and down with the thumbs of both hands dozens of times; or pressing one nostril to open the other nostril, etc., are all good ways to strengthen the nasal function.

5. What to do if your nose bleeds:

If you experience nose bleeding, do not lie down or tilt your head back. Be sure to spit out the blood in your mouth, do not swallow it, so as not to irritate the stomach and cause nausea and vomiting. At the same time, immediately use your index finger and thumb to pinch the nostrils on both sides from the depression on the outside of the nose, and use the nostrils to press the bleeding area of ​​the nasal septum. Generally, the bleeding will stop after 3 minutes.

6. Adjust your diet:

Eat less spicy and irritating food. In autumn and early spring, you can eat more foods that have the effect of nourishing yin and moistening dryness to keep your bowels open.

7. Keep the nasal cavity moist:

In daily life, we should pay attention to indoor ventilation to reduce air pollution. If the climate is too dry with little rain, you can take some corresponding measures, such as applying a little peppermint oil or sesame oil in the nasal cavity, or taking some vitamins C, A, D, etc., which can have a certain protective effect on the nasal cavity.
