Does Vitamin D Improve Nasal Allergies? Can People With Allergies Keep Pets? 2 Ways To Avoid Symptoms

As more and more people keep pets, there is also an increasing trend of allergic diseases allergic to animals, among which dogs and cats are representative pets. When cat dander, body hair, saliva, etc. are allergens, the antigenicity is quite strong, so even if there is no cat, it will be affected.

For example, if a co-worker at the company has a cat at home, your allergic disease will be exacerbated by interacting with the co-worker at the company; if you move and the previous tenant has a cat, then a few months Going down may suffer from intensified allergy symptoms.

The ideal allergy treatment is to "avoid" the allergens that cause allergic diseases. Allergic diseases that react to pet dogs and cats result from dander, hair, urine and saliva that fall from the dog's or cat's skin. Of course, pets can also develop allergic diseases from the dander and hair that fall off human skin, that is, people and pets can cause allergic reactions to each other.

In this case, it is the best way to take active drug treatment while accompanying pets, and finally avoid allergic reactions to pets through immunotherapy.

Alternatively, a two-pronged approach is possible. It is best to keep pets out of the bedroom, and try to keep pets in a well-ventilated area with a solid floor. Then, don't keep other animals other than your current pet.

The conclusion is that the value of vitamin D in patients with allergic rhinitis is lower than normal, and

As long as the skin is exposed to the sun, the skin can synthesize vitamin D, without using sunscreen products, and exposing the skin to the sun for about 30 minutes every day can maintain the normal concentration of vitamin D in the body. However, if exposed to the sun for more than 30 minutes, it will increase the risk of skin cancer and aging, so it is best not to exceed 30 minutes.

It's best to use sunscreen on your face, and try to expose your arms and legs if you can. But for modern people who spend almost all their activities indoors during the day, it is common for them to go home in the evening after going out to work in the morning. It is not easy to achieve "30 minutes of sun exposure every day". In that case, is sunbathing indoors effective? The answer is "invalid".

Although greenback fish (such as saury, salmon, etc.) contain a lot of vitamin D, the intake of food alone is not enough, and additional supplements are required. Don't forget one thing, though, that vitamin D supplementation doesn't immediately improve allergic rhinitis symptoms.
