Seasonal alternation can easily induce nasal allergies, coupled with the prevalence of viruses, sometimes nasal congestion is not distinguished from a cold at all? allergy? Or sinusitis? The doctor said that a preliminary judgment can be made about the duration of symptoms, the color of the secretions, and even the location of the pain; Chinese medicine suggests that touching the gallbladder meridian or pressing the acupoints of the gallbladder meridians can prevent nasopharyngeal cancer, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, and more.It can dehumidify the body and make good health care.
An easy way to distinguish allergic rhinitis, cold and sinusitis
Chen Xinmei, a family doctor at Zhongshan Hospital, said many upper respiratory diseases have similar symptoms and are difficult to distinguish, such as allergic rhinitis, colds and sinusitis. For allergic rhinitis, a simple judgment is that the symptoms will continue.It may be more severe today and the symptoms will be present tomorrow and the symptoms will continue. Colds are usually accompanied by symptoms such as fever and muscle pain, not just a runny nose. As for sinusitis, it is more peculiar and annoying, because it usually follows allergies or colds. Sometimes colds are due to swelling of the nasal mucosa and a lump of inflammatory substances is simply stuffed inside. Allergic rhinitis will also encounter a similar situation, so let’s assume that if you have allergic rhinitis or a cold, but then your nasal discharge turns clear to yellow or green, or your cheeks are sore and hot, you should be on the lookout for sinusitis.
Fever in the cheek, toothache, headache with yellow-green snot, beware of sinusitis
Chen Xinmei once met a patient who complained of a headache and later discovered sinusitis by accident. He said that because the maxillary sinus is very close to the cheek, when sinusitis is severe, the cheek can feel hot to the touch. The patient felt that the temperature of both cheeks was different and one side was particularly hot. Chen Xinmei touched his cheek and the patient felt that the temperature was different, the pain was unbearable and, as expected, an X-ray revealed a pile of pus in the sinuses. Also, since the maxillary sinus is inflamed, it will cause downward toothache and upward headache, so once there are red, yellow or green nasal discharge and symptoms such as pain, sinusitis should be suspected.
Chinese medicine can eliminate nasal congestion and make the gallbladder meridian effective
For the treatment of nasal congestion, Chinese medicine can touch the gallbladder meridian for regular maintenance. Chen Chaozong, president of the Chinese Federation of Chinese Doctors, said that the meridian points in the gallbladder can drain and dehumidify and can also prevent nasopharyngeal cancer, sinusitis and allergic rhinitis. The meridian points of the gallbladder start from the outside of the nose, go up, past the temple, go behind the ears, then go to the sides of the body, first behind, then under the armpit, and then all the way down. the thigh You can usually massage the acupoints of the gallbladder meridians more. .
Chen Chaozong pointed out that since there are many acupoints in the gallbladder meridian, I will not introduce it in detail: the front of the human body belongs to the Yangming meridian, the back belongs to the bladder meridian, and the side is the gallbladder meridian. You can massage directly with your fingers or you can use auxiliary equipment such as massage sticks and scraping sticks. He also demonstrated starting from the cheeks and applying pressure to the outer part of the eyes, up to the temples, behind the ears and on the neck. If the position of the scapula and shoulder cannot be pressed, the door frame can be pressed to stimulate the acupuncture points. For people with sciatica, they can perform daily maintenance by tapping, using a hammer, or not asking someone to touch the gallbladder meridian.
