Persistent nasal congestion dismissed as "poor constitution"; purulent nasal discharge blamed on "internal heat"; reduced smell attributed to "aging"...
The nose’s distress signals are often misunderstood.
A 25-year-old, "Xiao Chen," relied long-term on online celebrity-endorsed nasal sprays and was later diagnosed with nasal mucosal atrophy. A 68-year-old, "Lao Zhang," insisted on rinsing his nose with garlic juice to "sterilize" it, only to develop fungal sinusitis... These are not rare missteps.
As the first gateway of respiration, nasal health directly impacts quality of life. The second Saturday of April marks
National Nose Care Day. Let’s reject improper medication, embrace scientific care, and opt for professional treatment.
Common Behaviors That Worsen Rhinitis:
1. Myth-Driven Medication Choices
Some potent decongestants (e.g., oxymetazoline) relieve congestion quickly but cause
drug-induced rhinitis with prolonged use, leading to pale, dry, bleeding mucosa and rebound congestion.
Unregulated overseas nasal corticosteroids with mismatched concentrations or formulations may irritate the nose or pose systemic absorption risks.
Folk remedies like garlic juice or xanthium oil can burn mucosa, worsen inflammation, or spread infections.
The nasal cavity’s delicate structure is vulnerable to irreversible damage from unverified practices. For example, misuse of certain sprays can be toxic!
2. Reckless Medication Use
Therapeutic effects require time and proper dosing. Self-discontinuing medication invites relapse or exacerbation, undoing prior efforts.
Abruptly stopping or switching drugs ignores drug interactions and individual sensitivity. Sudden withdrawal of some medications may trigger rebound congestion.
Many fall into a vicious cycle of "relapse → blind medication → worsening symptoms," complicating treatable conditions. Rhinitis isn’t incurable—improper drug use is the real issue!
3. Neglecting Protective Measures
Forceful nose-blowing or picking damages mucosa, raising infection risks. Skipping masks during pollen season, prolonged exposure to smoke/dryness, or avoiding saline rinses weakens cilia and defenses. Ignoring daily care undermines treatment efficacy.
Sign This Nasal Health Pact
《Nasal Health Maintenance Pact》
Party A (Caretaker): Human
Party B (Caretaken): Human Nasal Cavity
Supervisor: TreeENT
Whereas Party A has long neglected Party B’s health rights, both parties hereby agree to standardize nasal care and safeguard respiratory health.
Article 1: Cease Harm
Nasal health begins with avoiding improper treatments. Scientific medication follows
personalized principles, selecting therapies (drugs, physical therapy, immunotherapy, biologics, or minimally invasive surgery) tailored to specific conditions.
Article 2: Long-Term Management
Daily care is critical: saline rinses, allergen avoidance, and immunity boosting. Combine with
regular follow-ups and personalized medical guidance to restore natural defenses and break the "medication-relapse" cycle.
Article 3: Entrust Professionals
Nasal issues demand expert diagnosis and treatment. Self-medication often addresses symptoms, not root causes. Severe or refractory conditions (e.g., structural abnormalities) require surgical precision, assessed and managed by specialists.
Both parties confirm: All diagnostic and treatment rights for nasal conditions belong exclusively to
TreeENT’s expert rhinologists.
TreeENT, gathering top national rhinologists, offers precision care from diagnosis to recovery. Whether treating common rhinitis, complex structural issues, or recurrent sinusitis, we craft
personalized plans to restore healthy breathing.
For patients unresponsive to conservative therapy or with anatomical abnormalities, TreeENT provides
minimally invasive surgical solutions:
Second-generation FESS sinus surgery
Vidian neurectomy
Submucosal septal deviation correction
Supported by HD imaging navigation and imported instruments, these procedures ensure minimal trauma and swift recovery.
On National Nose Care Day, join TreeENT in signing this pact.
Guard your nose—let every breath flow free and easy!
