Subscribe now >> Vasomotor Rhinitis Q: I was recently diagnosed with vasomotor rhinitis by an allergist. Also, I am allergic to mold and have food allergies from onions, rice and white potatoes, which cause my nose to swell and get stuffed up. Could you explain what he means by vasomotor rhinitis? A: Rhinitis is an inflammation of the nose ("rhin" meaning nose, as in rhinosceros) which can be divided into a few basic types: infectious (as in a cold), allergic, and vasomotor. Allergic rhinitis can be seasonal and occur only when pollen counts are high, such as ragweed in late summer, or it can be perennial and last pretty much year round because of sensitivity to molds or dusts. Incidentally the mold counts are especially high right now because of the never-ending rain we've had recently. Vasomotor rhinitis is a poorly understood "wastebasket" term for people who have a stuffy or draining nose, but don't have evidence of specific allergies. The blood vessels (hence the term "vaso") in the linings of the nose appear to be extrasensitive and swell up for no good reason. Changes in the temperature or humidity, scents in the air, eating cold food, cigarette smoke, cooking odors, or emotional stress may all be triggers. Some medications, like reserpine and prazosin, have also been implicated. Sexual arousal or hormonal changes can also result in nasal congestion. Sneezing, which is common with allergic rhinitis, is usually not a prominent symptom with vasomotor rhinitis.

Hay fever (allergic rhinitis) involves an allergic reaction to pollen. A virtually identical reaction occurs with allergy to mold, animal dander, dust, and similar inhaled allergens. The pollens that cause hay fever vary from person to person and from region to region. Pollens that are carried by bees from plant to plant are seldom responsible for hay fever because the grains are large and have a waxy coating. Pollens that are carried by the wind are smaller and more often cause hay fever. Examples of plants commonly responsible for hay fever include: trees (deciduous and evergreen)

Perennial allergic rhinitis occurs all the year around and is usually triggered by indoor allergens such as housedust mite, cat and dog dander. This condition is similar to Summer hayfever although they both have slightly different types of symptoms and occur when an allergen causes inflammation and irritation of the delicate linings of the nose and eyes. 16% of the population suffer with Allergic Rhinitis, of these, 8% have perennial symptoms, 6% perennial and seasonal symptoms and 2% have seasonal symptoms alone*. As with asthma and eczema , the incidence of allergic rhinitis is increasing and it runs in families. *Stats from ABC of Allergies, Edited by S Durham et al., British Medical Journal, 1998.

Acute rhinitis is the usual manifestation of a common cold (see The Common Cold in Ch. 162); it may also be caused by streptococcal, pneumococcal, or staphylococcal infections. Chronic rhinitis is generally a prolongation of subacute inflammatory or infectious rhinitis but may also occur in syphilis, TB, rhinoscleroma, rhinosporidiosis, leishmaniasis, blastomycosis, histoplasmosis, and leprosyall of which are characterized by granuloma formation and destruction of soft tissue, cartilage, and bone. These conditions produce nasal obstruction, purulent rhinorrhea, and frequent bleeding. Rhinoscleroma causes progressive nasal obstruction from indurated inflammatory tissue in the lamina propria. Rhinosporidiosis is characterized by bleeding polyps. Diagnosis and Treatment Diagnosis and treatment of acute bacterial rhinitis are based on pathogen identification and antibiotic sensitivities. Topical vasoconstriction with a sympathomimetic amine, such as phenylephrine 0.25%, given q 3 to 4 h for not more than 7 days relieves stuffiness, as do systemic sympathomimetic amines, such as pseudoephedrine 30 mg po q 4 to 6 h.

Frequent sneezing is characteristic of hay fever. Hay fever, otherwise known as seasonal allergic rhinitis, is an allergic reaction to airborne substances that attack the upper respiratory passages - the nose, sinus, throat and frequently also the eyes. Allergic perennial rhinitis is caused by house dust, mites and pets for example. It is the most common of all the allergic diseases - about 15 per cent of the population in industrialised countries suffer from hay fever. The symptoms usually appear first in childhood and then lessen by the age of 30 or 40. The name hay fever is misleading because symptoms don't just occur in the autumn when hay is traditionally gathered and never include fever.

It is also responsible for considerable costs to the econovmy through treatment expenditure, and revenue lost through absence from work. Nasal problems will often hae co-morbid effects on the sinuses, throat, middle-ear, and lower respiratory tract. Rhinitis frequently co-exists with asthma, and there is evidence to suggest that untreated rhinitis may influence the development and control of asthma. Despite these observations, there is a common misconception that rhinitis is an unimportant condition, and as a result is frequently trivialised by patients and their doctors. Definition Rhinitis is a clinical diagnosis, made on the basis of recognising a symptom complex of two or more of the following:

Changes in the nasal passages caused by excessive exposure to environmental irritants, such as cigarette smoke, chemicals, changes in temperature, stress, exercise, or other factors may provoke symptoms of rhinitis in people who are susceptible, such as those who have allergies or structural abnormalities in the nose or face. According to traditional Chinese medicine, allergies are caused by an invasion of "wind pathogens" transmitted through the air. However, the root of the problem is a combination of spleen qi deficiency with phlegm and damp retention plus kidney deficiency and liver qi stagnation and sometimes depressive heat. In order to remove the root of the problem, Chinese medicine is mainly directed at supplementing the spleen and tonifying qi, transforming phlegm and resolving dampness, strengthening the kidney, soothing the liver, and smoothing the qi. If depressive heat is present, then it is resolved and cleared.

DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF RHINITIS 2. Rhinitis should be classified by etiology as allergic or nonallergic. Allergic rhinitis is a very common cause of rhinitis. However, since approximately 50% of patients with rhinitis do not have allergic rhinitis, other potential causes must also be ruled out.

I have suffered with rhinitis from which I have developed nasal polyps (5 operations so far!) and have tried various products in the hope of some relief - as well as the proprietary prescription medications from my doctors. I can say in all honesty that from shortly after first using Oralmat, my rhinitis is clearing up. The swelling has gone down, the symptoms have reduced and very best of all, I am regaining some sense of smell which I have not had for years. Before I started using Oralmat drops to treat my rhinitis, the only time my sense of smell came back was immediately after I had a nasal polyp operation, and then only for a very short time (usually until I catch a cold or something).

Archive of previous Answers What are Rhinitis and Sinusitis? Almost everyone knows what it feels like to have a runny, stuffed-up nose at times. Often these symptoms are accompanied by a headache in the area around the eyes, nose and temples. People with allergies are especially prone to these symptoms. They are signs of rhinitis and sinusitis, two very common medical problems. It is estimated that up to 40 million American adults and children have one or both of these conditions. Although not life-threatening, rhinitis and sinusitis can make you miserable. At their worst, they can keep you from functioning normally, and may lead to life-threatening complications. Fortunately, there are things you can do to prevent these problems. And effective treatments exist when these symptoms do arise. If you have allergies, you are more likely to develop rhinitis or sinusitis than are persons without allergies. This makes it even more important to keep your allergies under control and to prevent rhinitis and sinusitis from occurring. What Is Rhinitis?

Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever and Rose Fever) and Chronic Nasal Congestion WHAT IS RHINITIS? The Nasal Passages and Daily Congestion The nose is separated into two passages by a wall of cartilage called the septum. The nasal passages are lined with a membrane that produces mucus. Mucus is one of the body's defense systems: The mucus, a thin clear liquid, traps small particles and bacteria that are drawn into the nose as a person breathes. The trapped bacteria usually remain harmless in healthy individuals. Even under normal circumstances, this produces a cycle of congestion and decongestion that occurs continuously throughout the day. When one side of the nose is congested, air passes through the open, or decongested, side. The sides alternate between being wide open and being narrowed. Rhinitis If the congestion becomes severe or other changes occur that irritate the nasal passage, rhinitis develops. Rhinitis describes a group of symptoms that include following: Runny nose.

Deze antistoffen gaan zich aan bepaalde in het slijmvlies ingenestelde cellen binden.
