Maintain a good state of mind and avoid emotional excitement; impatience can worsen the patient's self-perceived symptoms.
Nasal cavity is the first line of defence of the respiratory system, the second Saturday of April every year is the ‘National Nose Day’. The theme of this year's Nose Day is ‘Concern for Nasal Health, Strengthen Airway Protection’, and we should do a good job of preventing allergic rhinitis while caring for our own noses. If you always sneeze, itchy nose, stuffy nose and runny nose, you should go to the otorhinolaryngology department of the hospital in time to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment.
