Drug for treatment and prevention allergic rhinitis

What do you need to know about allergic rhinitis?

Allergic rhinitis is a mucosa inflammation caused by the inhaled allergens. It can be acute or chronic. Allergic rhinitis can be seasonal and year-round.

SEASONAL ALLERGIC RHINITIS

Develops as a result of the intolerance to pollen during the blossoming period of some plants and manifests itself during a strictly defined period of the year. Pollen is widely transferred by the wind. A trip to the region where the allergenic plants grow can cause aggravation of the disease.

Three periods are characterized by increased pollen concentration in the air:

• SPRING (trees’ blossoming)
• SUMMER (meadow grass)
• AUTUMN (weeds)

YEAR-ROUND ALLERGIC RHINITIS

It is caused by allergens which are in the permanent contact with a person. As a rule, those are domestic allergens: micromites, animal dander, household chemicals.

! While allergens disappear from the air (during rains or in winter), the symptoms get weaker or disappear.

Allergic rhinitis symptoms can be falsely taken for catarrhal disease.

The main distinctive features of allergic rhinitis are:

• Severe itching in the nose and in the nasal pharynx
• Frequent sneezing. In some cases the number may reach 10–20 times
• Sneezing is accompanied by the mucus excretion from the nasal cavity

Allergic rhinitis preventive measures.

Preventive measures are the only simple and safe way to avoid allergic reaction. Severity of the symptoms and the disease’s course depend on the quantity of the inhaled allergens.

To reduce the number of the allergens in the air, it is necessary to observe the following rules:

• If you have to leave the house or clean it, 10–15 minutes before contact with the assumed allergen use AQUA MARIS® Ectoin to prevent symptoms appearance. It creates an impalpable protective barrier for the mucosa, preventing allergens from sinking into it, thus significantly reducing the risk of allergic reaction.
• Wash your face and hands with cool water after every walk, change your clothes to get rid of the acqiured pollen or dust
• Remove from your lodgings carpets, curtains, stuffed toys and other objects which quickly accumulate dust
• Wet clean the apartment you are in several times a day
• Don’t dry your linen outdoors, as it can accumulate the pollen
• Don’t take pets, as animal dander has intense allergic properties
• When the plants are blossoming, try to avoid leaving the house on windy days. If there is a necessity to air the apartment, hang a damp cloth on the window; it will protect you from the pollen for some time
