Allergic Rhinitis: Cold Water Facial Cleansing Method

For patients with allergic rhinitis, the cold-water facial washing method involves taking a deep breath and then submerging the nose directly into cold water, allowing the cold water to fully contact the nasal mucosa and face for 60 seconds before breathing again. Repeat this process 3–4 times. If cold-water facial washing is impractical or unsuitable, patients may, under their physician’s guidance, use chlorpheniramine to alleviate symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
