How to cure allergy on the nose?

Question

I've been having an allergy on my nose since young. I can't get too close and long with dust and animals. When my allergy starts I have to take medicine for weeks before it finally gets back to normal. What's worst, it came several time when I was just about to go for a holiday! Does anyone have any idea how to cure it? It'd be best if the remedy is simple and doesn't cost much money. Is there any food which is good in curing it?

Hay Fever and Nasal Allergy

This is a very common condition, virtually all of us suffer to a degree with a runny, itchy nose, with blockage, post nasal drip and other catarrhal symptoms. There are many different forms of nose allergy, the commonest is hayfever. Allergy to house dust mite, and dust itself, is also common, this generally affects people at night, causing nocturnal nose blockage, dryness in the mouth, and sometimes precipitating snoring. Other common causes of allergy are asthma (essentially an allergic disease which often presents with nose problems), food allergy and allergy to animal fur.

Hay Fever
This is a condition that is caused by allergy to pollen, also known as seasonal allergic rhinitis. It is called hay fever because it is associated with being outdoors, particularly in the countryside, in the late spring and early summer, when the pollen count is at its highest. The "fever" element comes from the fact that the allergic response causes the release of inflammatory proteins, some of which are pyrogens - they make the body temperature rise. Hay fever can be a very unpleasant condition, with repeated sneezing and a constantly running nose being both embarrassing, socially unacceptable, and generally uncomfortable.

Where there is a profuse yellowish nasal discharge, often associated with sneezing and irritation, this is likely to be hay fever, particularly if it arises in the early spring, when there is a considerable amount of pollen around. Pollen contains high levels of antigen from plants, and since it is airborn, it means it is virtually impossible to avoid. An allergic reaction inevitably follows.... Some hay fever suffers have problems early in the season, with early blossoming trees, such as the cherry tree, others have problems later in the season, as other pollens are produced. The good thing is that once the plant that you are allergic to stops flowering, your hay fever will stop. Unfortunately, some plants flower for several weeks on end.

The treatment of nasal allergy can be difficult, since identification of what the patient is allergic to is very hit and miss - there are literally millions of allergens - the things we are allergic to. Basic allergy tests (skin prick or blood tests) can help, but if you are allergic to dust or grass pollen, then you are stuck, since it is basically impossible to exclude these from your environment. Simple precautions in the bedroom can minimise dust allergy problems. Treatment is usually symptomatic, starting with an Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist consultation, full examination of the nose, including endoscopy, and a basic screen of allergy tests. Treatment may be with topical or systemic steroids, antihistamines and allergen avoidance. If these initial measures are unsuccessful, a variety of different medicines of the same generic type can be used until one agrees with the patient and reduces symptoms sufficiently. On occasion, a turbinate reduction surgical procedure can be useful in treating some of these symptoms. Antihistamine tablets or sprays, and steroid sprays often help with nasal allergies. The Doctors at The London Laser Clinic are skilled in the identification and treatment of nose allergy and hay fever. On occasion, it is felt prudent to administer a depot injection of steroid, in late march, so that hay fever over the next few months is continuously supressed. This depot injection of steroid is slowly released into the body, and so is effective for allergies which occur over a finite length of time, such as Hay Fever. The turbinates are small bones found within the nose, they are coated with the nasal lining, which is the area that becomes swollen in allergy. Inferior turbinate reduction is a procedure that can be carried out using local anaesthetic solution soaked onto cotton wool, followed by laser vapourisation, which is painless, takes approximately 5 monutes per side (only one side is treated each time) and effective in reducing symptoms. However, turbinate reduction simply treats the symptom of blockage, not the underlying allergy - problems may return with time, and re-treatment after 2 years is quite common.

Try bee pollen for plant allergies most people find some relief after 30 days and toal relief after taking it for an entire season. You can get a 1lb jar from beeroyalproducts.com it'll last a little more than 30 days. Eat it on toast with some honey.

I love this. Sinus problems, congestion, cold, flu... even scientists have been unable to properly 'study' this area for some reason. They state lab conditions don't allow the bacteria to grow so they can study it properly to run tests on it. The pharmacuetical companies sure know how best to cure the 'symptoms' though, just go out and by their drugs. Even doctors live by these OC drugs.. expectorants, decongestants, hystamines, etc. Guess what Mr. G.Q. Public... their is prevention from Colds, Flu, Bronchitis and possibly more ailments but I refrain from any possible 'liable lawsuits' in submitting this information as many in the 'profession' may boohoo it, while others will become downright nasty the information is being let out. Something that has worked for others as for me has been this: Cover your nose AND mouth while you sleep. This prevents the 'bacteria' from entering your body while you sleep. Anyone out there go to bed with a cold, or do you just wake up with one? This is the reason. Dust mites float on dust, check your 'sunbeam' coming in your windows and you'll see all the dust you care to see. Beyond the 'mites' floating on the dust, other forms of bacteria float on them too. Better than 200 possible bacteria can cause 'cold symptoms'. Buying medication is their answer, while covering your nose and mouth ( leaving enough room to allow for proper breathing as yes, CO2 (carbondioxide) can kill) is the proper prevention. If it can't get in, it can't make you sick now can it? Remember to leave enough space for the CO2 to escape and for the fresh oxygen to get in. Never breathe straight exhalation for extended periods without oxygen as it can pose danger to your person. For most persons, our inner protective system will cause us to shift around if lack of oxygen is detected - our body's 'second nature' knows we need it... even if we're sleeping.
