Itchy and red nasal wings may be caused by drug allergies, allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, or other conditions, and patients should choose appropriate treatment based on their specific condition. Additionally, it could result from rhinitis or external irritants. Patients should avoid exposure to such irritants, such as wearing warm clothing and avoiding activities in heavily polluted environments. If symptoms are severe, prompt medical treatment at a hospital is necessary.
Itching and redness of the alar region may be caused by drug allergy, allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, etc. Patients should choose appropriate treatments based on their specific condition.
1. Drug Allergy
Certain medications may trigger allergic reactions, leading to itching and redness of the alar region. Patients should use air purifiers and ensure good indoor ventilation.
2. Allergic Rhinitis
Allergens such as pollen, dust, and pet dander can cause inflammatory responses in the nasal cavity, resulting in itching and redness of the alar region. Patients should avoid known allergens and, under medical guidance, may take medications such as ebastine tablets or loratadine tablets for treatment.
3. Sinusitis
Sinusitis involves inflammation of the paranasal sinuses and may also cause itching and redness of the alar region. Under medical supervision, patients may use medications such as furamist nasal drops or oxymetazoline nasal spray for treatment.
In addition, these symptoms could also result from rhinitis or external irritants. Patients should avoid exposure to irritants—such as by wearing warm clothing and avoiding activities in heavily polluted environments. If symptoms are severe, prompt medical attention at a hospital is necessary.
