What causes itchy nose and how to prevent it

With the recent rise in temperature, spring is approaching. As spring arrives, many people find that their noses begin to itch from time to time. This problem is mainly related to the increase of dust in the air. If your nose is fragile and sensitive, it is easy to cause problems such as itchy nose. When your nose itches, what effective measures can you take to improve it?

1. What causes an itchy nose?

1. Hay fever. Also known as seasonal allergic rhinitis, it is caused by allergies to pollen and mold.

2. Acute rhinitis. This is because when the nasal mucosa is infected by viruses and bacteria, blood vessels constrict, local ischemia occurs, and secretions decrease, which stimulates the sensation of the mucosal surface.

3. Perennial allergic rhinitis. Nasal itching is one of the important symptoms of the disease, accompanied by nasal congestion, nasal discharge, sneezing, etc. The nasal itching is milder than the pollen symptoms.

4. In addition, nasal eczema and nasal vestibulitis can also cause nasal itching, accompanied by skin lesions.

2. How to prevent itchy nose

1. Do not keep the indoor air conditioner on all the time. Make sure to open windows frequently to ventilate your home and keep the indoor air flowing and dry.

2 Clean the room regularly and vacuum frequently to reduce dust that can become allergens.

3. Turn over and wash sheets, pillows and other bedding frequently, and use miticides appropriately to reduce the breeding of dust mites.

4 Families with pets should pay special attention to the cleanliness of their pets' hair to avoid allergic rhinitis caused by pets.

5 During the pollinating season in spring, summer and autumn, people should try to reduce going out, and wearing masks can help reduce the severity of the disease.

3. Notes
