Patient's question:
Suffering from this for about half a year now, mainly scratching eyes and nose,,, also causing trouble .. Difficulty breathing, sometimes sneezing. Liaocheng People's HospitalDoctor's answer:
Drinking milk before bed can cause gastroesophageal reflux, where the acidic, spoiled milk residue stimulates the pharynx and nasopharynx, leading to irritative inflammation and triggering this condition as well as upper respiratory tract inflammation. Even residual milk remains in the nasal cavity, exacerbating the inflammation of this condition. Clearly, the popular trend of "a glass of milk before bed" is misleading. So, how should it be consumed for better suitability? It is advisable to drink milk at least 1-2 hours before bed.Wuhan Ren'an Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat Hospital explains that mild allergic rhinitis has little impact on daily life, while moderate to severe cases already interfere with patients' lives, leading to reduced quality of life, decreased work efficiency, lower academic performance, disrupted sleep and leisure, causing significant distress. If left untreated, it can result in sinusitis, otitis media, nasal polyps, and bronchial asthma. Therefore, active treatment is key.
