Is allergic rhinitis caused by excessive formaldehyde in furniture easy to treat?

Formaldehyde is an irritation that can irritate the nasal mucosa and cause discomfort, but the specific situation still needs to be determined by nasal examination, which is difficult to imagine out of thin air. In this case, you can pay attention to avoid irritation first, if the symptoms are mild, you can generally use saline nasal lavage to relieve it, if the irritation is severe, you can use some anti-inflammatory drugs such as budesonide nasal spray to relieve it.

Other treatments for allergic rhinitis.

General drug therapy can have a good therapeutic effect on allergic rhinitis, but for severe allergic rhinitis, other related treatments can be used.

Symptoms of significant nasal congestion can be treated with laser, microwave or plasma radiofrequency to achieve satisfactory results, and have certain benefits for sneezing and runny nose by reducing the sensitivity of nerves in the nasal cavity. Recently, the low-temperature plasma system used in clinical practice has been reported to have obvious effects on allergic rhinitis, especially severe allergic rhinitis, because of its small damage to the mucous membrane and no obvious side effects, its clinical significance has begun to be valued by some doctors, and can be used as the best alternative to laser and microwave in the treatment of allergic rhinitis, but the price is more expensive is its disadvantage, and the hospitals that have carried out plasma treatment of allergic rhinitis (including other types of rhinitis) earlier in China and have a certain reputation are: Department of Otolaryngology, Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, Department of Otolaryngology, Nanjing Bayi Hospital, Department of Otolaryngology, Beijing 304 Hospital, Department of Otolaryngology, Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical College, etc.

Desensitization therapy uses the identified allergen as a desensitizing agent, starting with a small dose of subcutaneous injection, gradually increasing the dose, and changing to a maintenance dose at the maximum tolerable dose until symptoms disappear. Patients treated by this method can produce a large number of specific IgG blocking antibodies in the body, which can block the binding of antigens to IgE antibodies and reduce the sensitivity of mediator cells, thus playing a therapeutic role, but because there may be many allergens, their effect is often limited. Details can be found in immunotherapy for allergic rhinitis in this topic.

Patients with concomitant nasal polyps should undergo endoscopic surgery for nasal polyps; In order to reduce the excitability of the parasympathetic nerves in the nasal cavity, pterygoid tunnel neurotomy or superficial orotomy can be performed, which has been reported to have some therapeutic effect, but we do not advocate this procedure because of the greater pain and certain risks.
