Pale edema of nasal mucosa

Introduction Pale edema of the nasal mucosa is one of the common symptoms of allergic rhinitis. Allergic rhinitis (allergic rhintis), also known as allergic rhinitis, is an allergic disease of the nasal mucosa and can cause a variety of complications. In recent years, the incidence rate has increased and become hot. According to statistics, allergic rhinitis accounts for about 40% of all rhinitis. Clinically, it is generally divided into perennial and seasonal. The external causes of allergic rhinitis include allergens such as pollen, viruses, parasites and cold. But the key is the internal cause. Due to changes in living environment, diet and other factors, the spleen and stomach are injured, and there are symptoms of moisture endogenous, loss of appetite, soft stools, soft waist and fatigue.

Cause

The external causes of allergic rhinitis include allergens such as pollen, viruses, parasites and cold. But the key is the internal cause. Due to changes in living environment, diet and other factors, the spleen and stomach are injured, and there are symptoms of moisture endogenous, loss of appetite, soft stools, soft waist and fatigue. Followed by the relationship with the lungs. Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach is the mother of the lungs, "the main air of the lungs", and its gas is derived from the air of nature and the essence of the water valley of the diet, and is transported to the lungs through the transformation of the spleen and stomach. The spleen and stomach are weak, first affecting the lungs, the mother's spleen and stomach are weak, the water valley's essence does not rise, and the lungs of the "child" become weak, so there are symptoms of lung qi deficiency such as sputum clearing. According to the treatment principle of "Difficult to be the mother" in the "Difficult", it is advisable to adjust the focus and reconcile the camp.

Nasal endoscopy

Anterior endoscopy: visible pale edema of the nasal mucosa, a large amount of water-like secretions, if the persistent edema can occur nasal polyps or polypoid degeneration.

Differential diagnosis

The symptoms of pale edema of the nasal mucosa should be identified as follows:

Infectious rhinitis: Infectious rhinitis is divided into acute rhinitis and chronic rhinitis. Nasal secretions are often mucinous or mucopurulent, and most of the secretions are neutrophils.

Allergic rhinitis: Allergic rhintis, also known as allergic rhinitis, is an allergic disease of the nasal mucosa and can cause a variety of complications. In recent years, the incidence rate has increased and become hot. According to statistics, allergic rhinitis accounts for about 40% of all rhinitis. Clinically, it is generally divided into perennial and seasonal.

Allergic rhinitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa involved in the release of IgE-mediated mediators (mainly histamine) after exposure to allergens, and a variety of immunocompetent cells and cytokines. Another type is induced by non-specific stimulation, non-specific allergen participation, not immune response process, but the clinical manifestations are similar to the above two types of allergic rhinitis, called vasomotor rhinitis or nerve reflex Rhinitis, stimulation can come from in vitro (physical, chemical aspects), or from the body (endocrine, mental aspects), so some people think that it is allergic rhinitis, but because there is no antigen-antibody reaction in the body, so desensitization Therapy, hormones or immunotherapy are not effective.

Swelling of the nasal mucosa: more common in rhinitis, rhinitis is a variety of performance. From the pathological changes of the nasal mucosa, there are chronic simple rhinitis, chronic hypertrophic rhinitis, cheese rhinitis, atrophic rhinitis, etc.; from the onset of the disease and the length of the disease, can be divided into acute rhinitis and chronic rhinitis . In addition, there are some rhinitis, although the onset is slow, the course of disease continues for a long time, but there are specific causes of the disease, so there are specific names, such as allergic rhinitis (ie allergic rhinitis), drug rhinitis.

Nasal polyp: (nasal polyp) is a common disease of the nose, which is caused by the extreme edema of the nasal sinus mucosa gradually sag under the action of gravity. Most believe that chronic infections and allergies are possible causes of illness. In recent years, it has been found to be closely related to arrhythmia, endogenous asthma and other systemic diseases.
