Probably suffering from Allergic rhinitis and dry nose
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thank you for posting your query on health care magic.
Looking at your symptoms, you are probably suffering from Allergic rhinitis (Inflammation of nose due to Allergy) and dry nose due to hot atmosphere Congestion and edema of the nose occurs due to inflammation. The nasal secretions pass to the throat and irritate the throat .
Common causes of allergic rhinitis include the allergens like faecal matter of the house dust-mite, animal proteins from domestic pets, and industrial dusts and fumes.
The management of allergic rhinitis consists mainly of (1) environmental control measures and allergen avoidance, (2) pharmacological management
Environmental control measures and allergen avoidance involve both the avoidance of known allergens (substances to which you are found sensitive-which aggravates your symptoms) and avoidance of nonspecific, or irritant, triggers.
For dust mites, covering the mattress and pillows with impermeable covers helps reduce exposure. Bed linens should be washed every 2 weeks in hot water to kill any mites present. Thorough and efficient vacuum cleaning of carpets and rugs can help. Dust mites thrive when indoor humidity is above 50%, so dehumidification, air conditioning, or both is helpful.
Control measures for mold allergy focus on reduction of excessive humidity and removal of standing water.
For animal allergy, complete avoidance is the best option.
Exposure to smoke, strong perfumes and scents, fumes, rapid changes in temperature, and outdoor pollution can be nonspecific triggers in patients with allergic rhinitis. Consider avoidance of these situations or triggers if they seem to aggravate symptoms.
You might find relief by taking following medicines :
Steroid Nasal spray like Fluticasone propionate(Clarispray) or Mometasone-helps against allergy and reduces inflammation,
Oral Decongestant like Phenylephrine and Nasal decongestant drops like Xylometazoline-they help to decongest the nose and sinus cavity and helps in nasal blockage (if you are not suffering from Hypertension)
Antihistaminic like Loratidine(Claritin)-helps against Allergy,
Mucolytic -like Ambroxol-it will help in breaking to mucus secretions
Saline nasal spray-helps to moist the nasal cavity (prevent from dryness)and removal of allergen particles from nose.
Besides using moisture in the air, make sure you help your body from the inside by staying hydrated. Drinking plenty of fluids like water can help moisturize your nose from the inside out.
Also do steam inhalation.
