Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu (Thuong Tin, Hanoi) said she had to " endure" allergic rhinitis for many days. Having a sensitive skin, she continuously sneezed, had a continuous runny nose, accompanied by headaches and insomnia. "The sneezing lasted for a long time, sometimes I even sneezed until my eyes had stopped. Their daily lives were seriously affected" - Ms. Thu shared.
Similarly, Mr. Tuan - an employee of a pet shop - also went to the doctor because of stuffy nose, runny nose, and frequent sneezing. After the examination, he was diagnosed with allergic rhinitis due to frequent contact with pet dander and was advised to consider changing the working environment.
Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Thi Hoai An - Director of An Viet Hospital - said that allergic rhinitis is one of the common diseases of the ENT, not only appearing in spring but can last all year round. The cause can come from pollen, animal fur, fine dust, humid environment or poor ventilation, creating conditions for mold to grow.
In particular, every summer, the temperature and humidity in the air increase, creating favorable conditions for ENT and throat diseases to break out. If not treated promptly, these diseases will not only cause discomfort in daily life but also pose many potential health risks.
Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Thi Hoai An added about common ENT diseases in the summer such as tonsillitis, which often cause sore throat, fever, difficulty swallowing, and even difficulty breathing. The disease comes from poor hygiene, polluted environment or sensitive soil. If the recurrence is repeated, the patient may be prescribed amendedoplasty.
Tubal inflammation is an inflammation of the duodenal mucosa, easily causing air vents. If not treated promptly, acute sinusitis can turn chronic and cause dangerous complications such as chronic sore throat, bronchitis, meningitis.
Allergic rhinitis also increases due to mold, dirt and improper use of air conditioners. The disease is not dangerous but causes prolonged discomfort, affecting daily activities.
Mid- ear inflammation is common in children under 4 years old, associated with nasal and throat diseases. If not treated properly, it can cause complications such as osteoporosis, cerebral abscesses.
" Limit exposure to foreign objects such as pollen, dust, mold. Keep your nose and throat clean, rinse your nose and rinse your throat with saline every day. Avoid bathing late at night or when the body is sweating. Do not turn on the air conditioner too cold or let the fan blow directly on you. Wear a mask when going out, keep the living space clean and airy", Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Thi Hoai An recommended.
