Why does a man's nostrils itch?

Itchy nose is a common symptom of allergic rhinitis, specifically, it is the most important symptom of dry rhinitis. Chinese medicine calls it "dry nose". This disease is more common in people with weak constitutions and those who often inhale unclean gases and have allergies.

Patients feel dryness and discomfort in the nose, or itching and foreign body sensation, which often induces patients to pick their noses, causing a small amount of nose bleeding. Common symptoms of allergic rhinitis are paroxysmal itchy nose, continuous sneezing, watery or thin mucous nasal discharge, accompanied by nasal congestion, decreased sense of smell, soft palate, itching of ears, eyes, throat and headache.

The main symptoms of allergic rhinitis are:

1. Sneezing: Sneezing occurs several times a day, worse in the early morning and at night, with a few to dozens of sneezing episodes each time.

2. Runny nose: There is often a lot of clear watery nasal discharge, especially during the acute attack period.

3. Nasal congestion: It may be intermittent or persistent, with varying degrees of severity.

4. Itchy nose and olfactory impairment: Itching inside the nose, and even itching outside the nose and eyes.

What should men do if their nostrils itch?

1. Do not keep the indoor air conditioner on all the time. Make sure to open windows frequently to ventilate the home and keep the indoor air flowing and dry.

2. Clean the indoor environment regularly and use a vacuum cleaner frequently to reduce dust that can become allergens.

3. Turn over and wash bedding such as sheets and pillows frequently, and use acaricide appropriately to reduce the breeding of dust mites.

4. Families who raise pets should pay special attention to keeping their pets’ hair clean to avoid allergic rhinitis attacks caused by pets.

5. During the pollination period in spring, summer and autumn, people should try to reduce going out as much as possible, and wearing masks can help reduce the severity of the disease.

6. The nasal cavity should be cleaned every day, and the scabs should be softened and then removed.

7. Rub the nose or massage the nose acupoints every day. Use the thumb to rub the nose wings up and down along the bridge of the nose several times, and use the index finger to rotate and massage the Yingxiang acupoint several times to enhance the blood circulation in the nose. When the climate is dry, you can use drops of compound peppermint oil.

8. Pay attention to supplementing vitamins A, B2, and C on a regular basis to help maintain the health of the nasal mucosa. Quit smoking and drinking, eat less spicy and hot foods, and eat more vegetables and fruits.

9. Do not pick your nose with your hands to avoid aggravating the damage to the nasal mucosa.

10. When you go out, you may want to bring eye ointment with you and apply it gently to the nasal cavity with a cotton swab to moisten the nasal mucosa.

11. Patients who are allergic to animal fur should avoid allergens.

12. Oral or nasal second-generation or new H1 antihistamines can effectively relieve symptoms such as itching, sneezing and runny nose. It is suitable for mild intermittent and mild persistent allergic rhinitis, and combined with nasal corticosteroids to treat moderate to severe allergic rhinitis.

13. Nasal corticosteroids can effectively relieve symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose and sneezing. For severe patients who do not respond to other drug treatments or cannot tolerate nasal medications, oral corticosteroids can be used for short-term treatment.
