Orrgyulladásérzet

Orrgyulladásérzet refers to the subjective sensation of inflammation or irritation within the nasal passages. This feeling can manifest in various ways, including a stuffy or blocked nose, a feeling of pressure, or a general discomfort in the area. It is often accompanied by other nasal symptoms such as sneezing, a runny nose, or a loss of smell.

The sensation of orrgyulladásérzet can be triggered by a range of factors. Allergic rhinitis, commonly known as hay fever, is a frequent cause, where the body's immune system overreacts to allergens like pollen, dust mites, or pet dander. Viral infections, such as the common cold or influenza, can also lead to nasal inflammation and this associated sensation. Non-allergic rhinitis is another category, encompassing irritants like smoke, strong perfumes, or changes in temperature and humidity that can provoke nasal symptoms. Structural issues within the nose, like a deviated septum, can sometimes contribute to feelings of congestion and irritation.

While the feeling itself is a symptom, it can significantly impact an individual's quality of life, affecting breathing, sleep, and concentration. Diagnosis typically involves a review of symptoms, medical history, and potentially allergy testing or a physical examination of the nasal passages. Treatment strategies are aimed at addressing the underlying cause, which may include antihistamines, nasal corticosteroids, decongestants, or avoidance of triggers.
