Spring is a high incidence period for allergies. According to the National Pollen Allergy Index Map released by China Weather Network, the pollen allergy index in multiple places has recently exploded. Experts say that susceptible individuals during the allergy season should take timely measures to protect themselves. Experts say that the main culprit of spring pollen allergy is often not brightly colored ornamental flowers, but rather trees and weeds that do not appear to bloom. During the season of high pollen incidence, allergic individuals should try to avoid going out during periods of high pollen concentration from 10am to 5pm. If going out, appropriate protective measures should be taken. Wang Xueyan, Director of the Allergy Center of Beijing Shijitan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University: For people with pollen allergies, it is necessary to wear masks and pollen resistant silicone glasses when going out. When returning, you should wash your face, shower, clothes, and nose. For those with severe symptoms, pollen blocking agents can be considered, especially for pregnant women and children who use them reasonably under the guidance of a doctor. Experts remind those with severe symptoms of pollen allergy to seek medical attention in a timely manner. In addition to medication, specific immunotherapy can also be performed based on the identification of the allergen, targeting the cause of the disease. This can help patients reduce symptoms or even stop developing symptoms after re exposure to the allergen, reducing or discontinuing medication. Allergic rhinitis has obvious seasonal characteristics. Allergic rhinitis is a non infectious inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa. The main symptoms are paroxysmal sneezing, clear water like mucus, nasal itching, and nasal congestion. Some patients may have eye symptoms, including itching, tearing, redness, and burning sensation. Some patients may develop bronchial asthma, accompanied by symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Wang Xueyan, Director of the Allergy Center of Beijing Shijitan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University: Allergic rhinitis is divided into common allergic rhinitis and seasonal allergic rhinitis. Common allergic rhinitis allergens are mainly dust mites, molds, animal dander, cockroaches, etc. Seasonal rhinitis allergens are mainly plant pollen, tree pollen in spring, and weed pollen in autumn. Seasonal pollen exposure is the main cause of pollen symptoms. Distinguishing between pollen allergy and cold symptoms, seek medical attention promptly. Experts point out that respiratory diseases are more common in spring, and pollen allergy symptoms are easily confused with colds, which can delay the condition. Therefore, the public should be vigilant. If a certain related symptom recurs regularly, they should be highly vigilant about allergies and seek medical attention in a timely manner to avoid delaying treatment. Wang Xueyan, Director of the Allergy Center of Beijing Shijitan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University: Spring is a high incidence period of respiratory diseases, and symptoms of pollen allergy and cold are very similar, which can easily be misdiagnosed and mistreated. Pollen allergy usually recurs for at least three weeks without symptoms such as headaches, fever, or muscle soreness. The course of a cold is relatively short, usually 3 to 7 days, rarely exceeding two weeks. If the same symptom recurs during this season, it is important to be vigilant about pollen allergy and seek medical attention in a timely manner to identify the allergen. (Outlook Society)
