Patient's question:
The nose often feels stuffy, with clear nasal discharge, itchy eyes, and sometimes redness and swelling in the nose. Last year, it occurred every few months, but this year it happens frequently. Which is better, traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine?Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was allergic rhinitis.
Type of help desired: What to do about the constant nasal discharge.
Doctor's answer:
Home Remedies for Rhinitis: Rhinitis (including allergic, atrophic, and sinusitis): First, soak 3~5 cloves of garlic (peeled) in a bottle of aged vinegar for two days. Then, take two new red bricks and heat them on the fire until they are hot. Pour two tablespoons of vinegar onto the hot bricks. At this time, a strong stream of hot air will rise, and the patient should inhale the hot air through the nose. Do this twice a day, alternating for 7 days. It helps clear heat, reduce inflammation, expel toxins, and unblock nasal passages, effectively treating various types of rhinitis with remarkable results. The above suggestions are for the issue of "runny nose with itchy sensation, constant clear nasal discharge, and difficult breathing." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
