Saltwater Washes (Nasal Saline Lavage or Irrigation) for Sinusit
Saltwater Washes (Nasal Saline Lavage or Irrigation) for Sinusitis
Topic Overview
Saltwater washes (saline lavage or irrigation) help keep the nasal passages open by washing out thick or dried mucus. They can also help improve the function of cilia that help clear the sinuses. This can help prevent the spread of infection to the other sinuses and reduce post-nasal drip. It also can make the nose feel more comfortable by keeping the mucous membranes moist.
You can buy saline nose drops at a pharmacy, or you can make your own saline solution:
Add 1 cup (250 mL) distilled water to a clean container. If you use tap water, boil it first to sterilize it, and then let it cool until it is lukewarm. Add ½ teaspoon (2.5 g) salt to the water. Add ½ teaspoon (2.5 g) baking soda.
You can store homemade saline solution at room temperature for 3 days.
To use homemade saline solution as a nasal wash:
Fill a large medical syringe, squeeze bottle, or nasal cleansing pot (such as a Neti Pot) with the saline solution, insert the tip into your nostril, and squeeze gently. Aim the stream of saline solution toward the back of your head, not toward the top. The saline wash should go through the nose and out the mouth or the other side of the nose. Blow your nose gently after the saline wash unless your doctor has told you not to blow your nose. Repeat several times every day. Clean the syringe or bottle after each use.
Here are some things to think about:
Do your saline wash before you use your other nasal medicines. The wash will help your sinuses absorb the medicine. You can warm the saline solution a little. But make sure it's not hot. The saline wash may cause a burning feeling in your nose the first few times you use it. Most people get used to the wash after a few times.
An allergen is an otherwise harmless substance that causes an allergic reaction. Allergic rhinitis, or hay fever, is an allergic response to specific allergens. Pollen is the most common allergen in seasonal allergic rhinitis. These are allergy symptoms that occur with the change of seasons.
Nearly 8 percent of adults in the United States experience allergic rhinitis of some kind, according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI). Between 10 and 30 percent of the worldwide population may also have allergic rhinitis.
Due to concerns over possible side effects, more people with allergies are looking at ways to address hay fever symptoms “naturally.” However, it is important to remember that any medication can have side effects, even if it’s considered natural. Aside from home remedies, options can also include alternative and complimentary medicine. The downside to these treatments can be that there’s little supporting evidence to prove that they’re safe or effective. The correct dosing may also be difficult to determine or achieve.
Although these alternative treatments are derived from plants and other natural substances, they can possibly interact with medications, as well as cause reactions. Try these with caution, and ask your doctor before use.
Unfortunately, allergic rhinitis itself can’t be prevented. Treatment and management are keys to achieving a good quality of life with allergies. Some complications that can arise from hay fever include:
inability to sleep from symptoms keeping you up at night development or worsening of asthma symptoms frequent ear infections sinusitis or frequent sinus infections absences from school or work because of reduced productivity frequent headaches
Complications can also arise from antihistamine side effects. Most commonly, drowsiness can occur. Other side effects include headache, anxiety, and insomnia. In rare cases, antihistamines can cause gastrointestinal, urinary, and circulatory effects.
Children can develop allergic rhinitis too, and it typically appears before the age of 10. If you notice that your child develops cold-like symptoms at the same time each year, they probably have seasonal allergic rhinitis.
The symptoms in children are similar to those in adults. Children usually develop watery, bloodshot eyes, which is called allergic conjunctivitis. If you notice wheezing or shortness of breath in addition to other symptoms, your child may have also developed asthma.
If you believe your child has allergies, see your doctor. It’s important to receive the correct diagnosis and treatment.
If your child does have significant seasonal allergies, limit your child’s exposure to allergens by keeping them inside when pollen counts are high. Washing their clothes and sheets frequently during allergy season and vacuuming regularly may also be useful. Many different treatments are available to help your child’s allergies. However, some medications can cause side effects, even in small doses. Always talk to your doctor before treating your child with any over-the-counter allergy medication.
我儿子有花粉症,三年前带他去专科医生那里确诊的,grass pollen allergy, 因为每年症状反应也不太一样,一般来说,严重时吃过敏药,不严重时不吃药. 基本上不吃药的时候居多. 今年的情况比较好,眼睛不痒,偶尔打噴嚏,最严重的反映就是鼻塞, 所以到现在为止我们还没有给他吃过敏药. 我们有问过他要不要吃药, 他说不要. 儿子的花粉症确诊后,我让他每天早上喝一杯蜂蜜水,他坚持了两年,现在看作用不大,可是网上有人说这个办法有用,呵呵,这个可能也是因人而异吧.
花粉过敏在北美这边很常见,我们谁也没觉得这是个事儿. 我今天发贴的主要目的不是讲花粉症,而是要说一下,花粉过敏的孩子可能会有头痛,恶心和呕吐等症状. (因为我儿子后来出现的这些症状,而且一直没有明确诊断,所以那种担心一直象梦魇一样折磨着我!)
言归正转,自从儿子得了花粉症之后, 随之而来的又出现了一个新毛病: 身体比以前差了,具体表现就是以前孩子从来不吐,也从来没有说过什么头痛之类的话,最近两三年,孩子有时候(有时是间隔几个月,有时是间隔几个星期)会有容易疲劳(放学或者是外出游玩之后说累,想睡觉,并且是倒头就睡至少两三个小时,叫都叫不醒), 早上有时候说头痛和恶心, 有时又是这些情况都有外加呕吐. 出现了这些症状,可不是小事了,我和他爸爸前前后后带他看了好几次急诊,每次医生都说是肠胃道感冒,给一片止吐药打发我们回家. 在这几年里,也不乏时常带他去看家庭医生,同样还是说不清孩子为什么会有这些状况. 我们也曾经想过带孩子去做头部检查,可是出现这些症状之后,往往是孩子睡一觉,或者是吃一片kid's gravol,休息一下,第二天儿子又跟没事人一样,让我们哭笑不得, 所以我们最后又都觉得他应该没有什么大事,可能就是没休息好,没吃好, 去做CT检查什么的,毕竟对孩子有辐射,就一直没有做.
我从去年开始记录儿子发生这些症状的时间和频率,到今天为止,记录了整整两年. 我终于发现儿子在这两年之中,这些症状主要是集中在每年的五月到八月,正好和他花粉症的发作时间吻合. 后来,又和身边有花粉症孩子的妈妈们聊天,其中一个同事的孩子也出现过和我们家孩子非常类似的这些症状. 最后,我就开始上网搜索,中文的,英文的,发现鼻窦炎可以引发孩子这些症状,进而发现过敏性窦炎也会引发上面这些症状.这样一来,也就不难理解,花粉过敏的孩子,如果鼻塞持续一段时间之后,是有机会引起头痛,恶心和呕吐等症状的. 有兴趣的家长可以自己上网搜索一下,类似的文章非常多.
说明一下,我不是医生,只是因为对于儿子这几年出现的这些症状一直担心不已,才不停的在探索原因, 直到今天才发现这其中的诸多联系,多少放轻松了一些. 同时,我已经约了家庭医生,准备带孩子再去看看,把我的想法和医生再沟通一下,看看自己的想法是否正确. 但是不管正确与否,我的建议是如果孩子出现鼻塞,做家长的要及时采取措施,不能听之任之,容易引起其他的麻烦. 如果谁家的孩子和我儿子一样,建议家长也带着孩子去见见您的医生,问讯一下,孩子的疲劳,头痛和恶心或者是呕吐症状是否与花粉症有关,好及时采取相应的治疗措施.
我因为儿子的这些症状担心了两三年,其中痛苦只有当事人最清楚,希望写下这篇文章对其他人有所帮助.
我在网上找的治疗鼻塞的办法:
花粉过敏性鼻炎用凉水洗鼻法
每天早上起床后用凉水一盆，将整个鼻子浸入水中稍吸气，使水进入鼻腔根与鼻黏膜充分接触，可以清洗鼻腔，减少细菌感染，注意不要用力过猛。长期坚持，能够提高鼻黏膜的适应能力，尤其对季节和温度变化引起的花粉过敏性鼻炎效果显著，可减轻花粉过敏性鼻炎带来的鼻塞、流鼻涕症状。
花粉过敏性鼻炎用葱白治疗
葱白具有解毒杀菌的作用，花粉过敏性鼻炎患者可以用葱白10克，捣烂后，取汁用来涂抹鼻唇之间，每天进行2次;或用开水冲泡后，利用冒出的热气熏鼻子，可以使得鼻黏膜收缩，变得通畅，且保持鼻黏膜湿润，从而有效缓解因花粉过敏引起的流鼻涕和鼻塞症状，并能防止花粉过敏性鼻炎发作。
花粉过敏性鼻炎用生理盐水
花粉过敏性鼻炎患者可以在小吸壶里装入生理盐水，通过鼻子吸入，利于深入鼻腔内部，利用盐水自身的杀菌作用彻底清除鼻腔内的花粉成分，对于治疗花粉过敏性鼻炎大有益处。
花粉过敏性鼻炎按摩治疗
做法：揉迎香、鼻通、印堂穴，捏鼻、擦鼻翼各1～2分钟，每日早晚各1次，过敏性鼻炎发作时每日可增加1～2次。
迎香：位于鼻之两旁、鼻唇沟中，是治鼻塞之要穴;
鼻通：位于鼻之两侧、鼻唇沟上端尽头;
印堂：位于两眉头连线中点。
揉鼻通穴和印堂穴手法要较重，以能忍受为宜，可散鼻的局部郁热以通鼻窍，另外，捏鼻、擦鼻翼也可通利鼻窍，改善局部血液循环，利于消除鼻腔内的细菌，从而达到缓解花粉过敏性鼻炎症状，让鼻子变得舒适了很多。
花粉过敏性鼻炎的日常护理
1.花粉过敏性鼻炎患者一定要避免接触过敏源，以免发生过敏反应;
2.花粉过敏性鼻炎忌食寒凉生冷等刺激性食物;慎食鱼、虾、蟹类等海产食物;平时注意多吃补益肺气的食物，如白萝卜、银耳、莲子、梨子、枇杷等。
3.花粉过敏性鼻炎不要吸烟，以及避免吸二手烟，并且尽量避免出入空气污浊的地方;
4.花粉过敏性鼻炎应加强耐寒训练，常用冷水洗脸，水温可作适当调节，在保暖的前提下增加户外活动，呼吸冷空气，可提高呼吸道抗寒能力。
5.花粉过敏性鼻炎发作期间，要注意防寒保暖，春秋换季时也要注意保暖，适时增减衣物。
6.花粉过敏性鼻炎临睡前不可喝牛奶，因为睡前喝牛奶会发生胃、食道返流，返流的酸腐残奶，会刺激咽、鼻咽部，发生刺激性炎症，诱发鼻炎及上呼吸道炎症。甚至鼻腔中也留有残余牛奶，可加重本病的炎症。

Children usually develop watery, bloodshot eyes, which is called allergic conjunctivitis.
恶心呕吐也是因为头痛引起（我头痛的时候就是这样）。
一般还有一些水果过敏，比如桃子，樱桃。吃了会喉咙痒。
可以每天吃一片CLARITIN，不困倦. 一到allergy季节，提前两周吃，效果最好。
Claritin 24 Hour Non-Drowsy ，几乎没啥事了，偶尔鼻塞。在外面运动后，回家马上洗澡，把过敏源洗掉也有帮助。平时多吃 yogurt 也有一些好处。
祝好运！
就是增加免疫力之类的，但是这些都不会立竿见影
去年买了各种各样蜂蜜，时常吃，经常是是一大勺当药吃，今年春天症状大大减轻。
