Your doctor has recommended RinoSolvin as you may be suffering from Asthma and Allergic Rhinitis.
Asthma, also known as bronchial asthma is a condition in which the patient’s airways swell, narrow up and produce extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. Tests to detect Asthma include lung function or pulmonary function tests, Spirometry, Chest X-rays, CT scan and arterial blood gas analysis.
Asthma medicines are prescribed for quick-relief to relax your airways and to allow more air into your lungs. They are recommended during an asthma attack to quickly stop wheezing. Long-term medicines are also given to help alleviate asthma symptoms.
Allergic Rhinitis or hay fever causes cold-like signs and symptoms such as a runny nose, itchy eyes, congestion, sneezing, allergic conjunctivitis and sinus pressure. It is caused by an allergic response to outdoor or indoor allergens such as pollen, dust mites or tiny flecks of skin and saliva shed by cats, dogs and other animals with fur or even from feathers.
Medications for hay fever include nasal corticosteroids, antihistamines, decongestants, allergy shots (immunotherapy) and rinsing of sinuses.
Perennial allergic rhinitis is a chronic allergic condition that causes nasal congestion and a runny nose. The most common cause of perennial allergic rhinitis are dust mites and pet dander from cats and dogs. It can also be caused by any allergy that is present year round.
To treat perennial allergic rhinitis, using a dehumidifier is recommended especially if you are allergic to dust mites. Other actions suggested are getting rid of pets or limiting their access to bedrooms, regular and deep cleaning, dry cleaning or replacing carpets at home. Patients are recommended medications including antihistamines for controlling allergy symptoms and if required, immunotherapy.
