I.  Make sure to reduce exposure. How do you do this?

• Keep windows and doors closed when pollen counts are high and turn your air conditioner on.

• Keep pets out of the bedroom and off the furniture to limit exposure.

• Use a dehumidifier in your bedroom to keep the air dry.

• Use allergy-resistant mattress and pillow covers.

• Vacuum carpets at least once a week.

• Periodically clean &/or replace the filter in your home ventilation system. I recommend using a micron allergy grade filter.

II. Over-the-counter allergy medications.

• You can find relief from sinus congestion using many products; however, no other product alleviates allergy symptoms more quickly than saline nasal rinses. I prefer NasalCare nasal rinse which can wash away the allergy symptoms from the nose.

• You may also consider using oral antihistamines (i.e., Allegra, Claritin and Zyrtec). These medications should not cause drowsiness or elevate blood pressure (It is recommended to consult with family doctor before choosing).

• Headaches can be typically helped by Tylenol (acetaminophen) and/or Advil (ibuprofen). If your headache is a result of inflamed sinuses, using NasalCare sinus rinse can help alleviate your headache as well. The solution within the rinse mix helps reduce inflammation within your nasal cavity.

If these tips do not provide allergy symptom relief, make sure to see you doctor.

TechWorld shared with these buyers a breakthrough medical research that revealed patients using NasalCare® Nasal Irrigation Kit to perform nasal irrigation three times a day reduced the cold duration by an average of 4.5 days. For influenza, patients experienced an average of 5.8 days of flu symptoms, not typical about 2-weeks. In addition, medical researchers discovered that patients using NasalCare® experienced lessening severity from the start of treatment, and by Days 3, the cold and flu symptoms were gone or significantly reduced. Flu viruses and virus receptors in nasal secretion were also removed by performing an effective nasal cleansing with NasalCare® nasal irrigation kit.

According to James Liu, MD, PhD, CEO of TechWorld Medicals and one of the inventors of NasalCare, “everyone knows there is no drug or vaccine for common cold. Influenzas viruses keep mutating, and anti-flu drugs and vaccines have limitations in the treatment and prevention of flu. NasalCare’s patented technology is a non-drug and non-vaccine approach to fight against cold/flu virus infection. This medical breakthrough provides preliminary evidence that effective removal of these viruses from nasal cavities is an alternative way to protect against cold/flu symptoms.”

Needless to say, the buyers at ECRM 2012 were extremely impressed.

1. Use a humidifier. Generally, nosebleeds occur because we develop tiny cracks in the mucosal surface of our septum when our nose dries out. A humidifier helps to keep your nose moist and lessons the chance of these cracks.
2. Do not smoke and try to stay away from second/third hand smoke.
3. Do not take blood thinners such as aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.
4. Coat nose with Vaseline.
5. Cleanse your nose with nasal irrigation system such as NasalCare. Try to find solution with a natural moisturizer (aloe vera).

1. Firmly pinch the soft parts of your nose for around 5 minutes while your head is slightly tilted forward (repeat if needed). DO NOT tilt you head back and/or lie down. Doing so allows blood to flow back into your sinuses and down your throat. This can cause a gag reflex and/or nausea.
2. Stay calm and stress free. REST. Make sure to elevate your head above your heart.
3. Apply ice (wrapped in a clean towel) or a cold/moist toilet to your nose & cheeks. You may also place a cold towel on your forehead for relief.
4. Once nose bleed has stopped, apply coating of Vaseline to your nasal cavity. Lightly coat unused cotton swab with Vaseline and coat the inside of your nose. This ensures that the nasal lining stays moist.

If nose continues to bleed, immediately visit your physician or emergency room for treatment.

1. Contact you doctor: It’s important that you contact your family doctor as early as possible because if you are indeed suffering from the flu, medications that you doctor prescribes work better within the first 48 hours of symptoms and the treatment efficacy decreases the longer you wait.
2. Perform an effective nasal Irrigation.  You can cleanse viruses and inflammatory factors out of your nose.  A recent breakthrough clinical study has found cleansing the nasal cavity with all natural, drug-free solution three (3) times per day shortened the common cold/flu by an average of 4.5 days. (Read Breakthrough clinical study by clicking here)(Study used NasalCare Brand).
3. Try eating raw garlic: try eating at least two (2) cloves per day in soup or salad. If you are having problems eating because of your symptoms, you can find garlic supplements over-the-counter at any major retailer.
4. Get as much rest as possible: Obviously lacks of sleep and/or stress can break your body down. So, the more rest you receive while suffering your flu symptoms, the better.
5. Stay hydrated: Make sure to drink plenty of water and Gatorade.

What is Pregnancy Rhinitis? Rhinitis is the inflammation of the mucous lining of the nose. So, pregnancy rhinitis is inflammation of the mucous lining during pregnancy. Why are pregnant women more prone to rhinitis during pregnancy? Well, during pregnancy a woman produces more estrogen and progesterone in their system that can cause swelling and congestion inside the sinus cavity.  The over-producing of these hormones may cause your nasal passages to become blocked. This is pregnancy rhinitis.

Pregnancy Rhinitis symptoms include: nasal congestion, sneezing, coughing, runny nose, post-nasal drip, sinus pressure/congestion and possibly headaches.
