Why are some people allergic to cold air?

We all know that allergic reaction is the result of many factors, mainly due to contact with specific allergens, such as pollen, dust, mites and so on. In addition to the stimulation of specific allergens, there are actually a large number of non-specific factors that have obvious effects on the occurrence of allergies, such as climate change, emotional fluctuations, overwork, nutritional imbalance and so on. Cold air is the inducing factor, while dust, microorganisms and bacteria entrained in cold air or cold stimulation are the allergic factors.

The cause of allergic rhinitis caused by cold air is very obvious. It is caused by cold air, which causes itchy nasal mucosa, persistent sneezing, dry and itchy skin, persistent asthma and other symptoms. It not only affects normal life, but may even endanger life. Patients who are allergic to cold air will feel uncomfortable in winter.

Sneezing for a long time is actually due to the phenomenon of cold air, which causes allergic rhinitis. Cold air tickles the nasal mucosa, causing persistent sneezing. The nose often itches, and patients with allergic rhinitis often itch because of nasal irritation, and the symptoms may vary from person to person. Patients with perennial rhinitis may also have seasonal attacks.

When the nasal congestion is serious, we can choose to open our mouth to breathe and clear our throat. If nasal mucus runs into our noses at night, it will cause repeated coughing. Nasal congestion often changes with the change of body position, such as left and right nasal congestion when lying on the left, and left and right nasal congestion and runny nose when lying on the right are the characteristic manifestations of rhinitis. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cold allergy is mainly caused by physical weakness and exogenous cold, and advocates improving physical fitness in prevention. In winter, you can properly strengthen cold-resistant exercise, such as taking a cold bath and wearing light clothes for physical exercise, but you must do it according to your own physique and ability.
